Danish term or phrase: rykket mig

*Danish*

"XX Kreditbank, hvor min broder har en konto, har ved flere lejligheder rykket mig, fordi min broder havde overtrukket sin konto."

"XX Kreditbank, where my brother has an account, ___ me on several occasions because my brother had overdrawn his account."

There seem to be many translations available for this term, shifted/moved/reminded/notified, but I cannot seem to make any of them make sense in the above sentence. Grateful for your help.

Right, a bank shouldn't do this, but given that it's old spelling ('broder'), it may have happened decades ago, long before the GDPR. In any case, it's the only thing it can mean in this context.

Notes to answerer

Asker: I considered this, but it cannot be standard protocol for a bank to notify an account holder's family if there's an overdraft problem, surely? Why would this individual receive reminders of his brother's overdrafts?

Asker: Oh okay, I suppose that makes sense then. Thank you!

44 mins confidence:

has been dunning me (turning to me as guarantor)

Explanation:
Funnily enough, appealed to - in the first web ref. and in a non-attractive sense - would fit the context.

If the brother has been called on to clear the overdraft, then it may well be that he has stood as 'guarantor' for the overdraft.

So sending of a reminder is clearly on the right lines.

contacted me / got in touch with me

Explanation:
"XX Kreditbank, where my brother has an account, CONTACTED me / GOT IN TOUCH WITH me on several occasions because my brother had overdrawn his account."

His brother presumably gave Kreditbank his next of kin's person-to-contact data in case he himself could not be reached in person for whatever reason (away on travel, hospitalized).

Odd though that this is recurrent. Lax bank oversight with this customer for whatever unfathomable, unexplained reason.

3 hrs confidence:

sent me an NSF notice

Explanation:
In this case, it might be an NSF (non-sufficient funds) notice (here in the U.S.), given the context. In fact, "sent me a notice" might do the job as well since the reason for the notice is provided (i.e., the overdrawn account).
As mentioned by others, it would be a bit unusual/illegal to send such a notice to the account holder's sibling...
