First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) is placing me in a difficult situation by not giving me my clearance letter. I had a loan with them, and I finally paid my outstanding in order to complete my loan payments and close the account.
On the same day as when I paid the outstanding amount, I requested a clearance letter and they said they would process it within seven working days. Since a month, my request is still pending. I always call the bank and follow up with their call centre, and also visit the Bur Dubai branch, where I originally requested for the clearance letter. But till now, they haven’t given me the clearance letter. I don’t know why it’s taking so long.
I have had a bad experience with this branch previously, when I requested for a liability letter. That is why I took the initiative to visit their Bur Dubai branch to check for my letter.
I need it in order to go ahead with my plans. I have already paid my debts, so why have they not given me my clearance letter? Please help me with my predicament, Gulf News.
