We often apply for bank credit cards and loans, for which, we fill out an application form and provide the bank with documents, such as attested passport copies and a copy of our Emirates ID. For credit card, we also give a security cheque. I went through the same process at Dubai First. After 20 days, I called the bank and asked for the status of my application. The representative said the bank had rejected my application. It was alright with me, since I was not very interested, so I requested the bank to return my documents. The representative replied that I would have to call their call centre on the toll free number and ask for the documents. Since the documents I gave were attested, they can be misused and I have every right to ask for them. But since I did not receive a proper reply, can Gulf News guide me as to what I should do about it?

Mr Sajnani responds:
Thanks a lot, Gulf News and Dubai First. I received a call from the bank — they sent me a copy of the cheque by email. The issue has been resolved. Thank you for the cooperation and more importantly, for prompt action.
