A credit card was issued to me in 2015 along with my car loan from Ajman Bank. Before activating the card this year, in March 2017, I asked and verified twice that no annual fee will be charged by the bank for the first year. I then decided to activate the credit card. The very next day, I received a message from the bank that an amount of Dh100.60 was due, with due date of April 6, 2017. I raised a complaint prior to the due date, and their response was that they will check. Even after I made a series of follow ups and sent emails, nothing happened and the only response was – “still ongoing”. From the date of complaint until now, the bank is continuously charging late payment and interest. Now, the amount due has reached Dh2,358.57. The card never been used in any transaction and my complaint was never resolved. Please help me in this situation.
