  • Reader complaints against the bank’s delay to issue closure certificate

I had a personal loan with Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB). There was a final and last payment of Dh792.45, which was missed out from my end. I didn’t get any calls from the bank following up for the same. When, I approached the bank for the loan closure certificate, they told me that I have an outstanding payment and asked me to go to the collection department. I met their representative several times and further to his verbal confirmation in his office, I made the full outstanding payment of Dh792.45. The mini-statement also showed payment balance as zero.

When approached the branch for closure certificate, the branch manager said they didn’t get any email confirmation from the collection department. I went back to the collection department, but they are not ready to do anything. I called the customer service number and logged a complaint, but nothing happened. From July to October 2018, I am running around between branches to the collection department for closure certificate. Appreciate Gulf News’ provision to present my complaint.
