I would like to seek Gulf News’ assistance regarding my issue with some banks. First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) issued a letter stating my complete liabilities, dated September 10, 2017, which were settled by Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) on September 17, 2017, at the FAB Deira main branch.
FAB issued a demand draft for the settlement of my liabilities and it was paid by the National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD, which is now part of FAB) on October 1, 2017.
To record, to date, both banks are not issuing the bank clearance letter that I have requested, even though my liabilities with them have been settled since September 17, 2017. I don’t know why they are delaying the issuance of this letter.
I have also noticed they made a transaction from my NBAD account to my FAB credit card without my knowledge, even though my liabilities with FAB were settled on October 1, 2017.
Both banks are ignoring my numerous complaints and calls.
I hope Gulf News can help me overcome this issue with the aforementioned banks.
From Mr Peter Paul Layderos
