Reader asks why it’s taking months for his bank to update his Al Etihad Credit Bureau records Image Credit: Shutterstock

  • I cleared and paid my pending loan; waiting for bank to update its records
  • Bank did not update Al Etihad Credit Bureau records 
  • I can’t proceed with my plans because of this Al Etihad report

Complaint

In February 2019 I cleared and paid my pending loan with an amount of Dh6,212 with Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB). In that month itself, I raised a complaint for DIB to clear my name and update my record at Al Etihad Credit Bureau since the pending amount is still showing Dh6,212.

I spent almost Dh252 (three times to request for Al Etihad credit report) but till June 20, the issue persists. The amount is still showing, and I can’t proceed with my plans because of this Al Etihad report; I am waiting for DIB’s action, and it’s getting too delayed.

This June, I had opened another complaint because DIB said that the first complaint, which I had raised was resolved. How can it be resolved if till this June, the pending amount is still showing at Al Etihad?

I hope to get the attention of DIB to solve the issue as soon as possible. I paid the amount, thus they should take swift action.
