I have a credit card from Emirates NBD. In December 2017, I applied for a loan of Dh6,000 with instalments for six months, and there was a charge of Dh180 as processing fee. So the total outstanding was Dh6,180 at the time of processing my loan. The person who processed it informed me that all the other services, like credit shield and insurance, had been removed and he confirmed the same.
But in my first statement, I found an extra amount of Dh61.18. I informed the bank’s call centre and they said that in the next statement, they would reverse the amount.
But since the past four months, I have been calling them regarding the extra amount, which has still not been reversed. Each time, they say my issue has been solved. But when I ask for a clarification, they don’t have any idea about the issue and put me on hold for more than half an hour and again advise me to wait for my next statement.
Recently, I called them again and warned them that I would complain regarding the incorrect statement, but I haven’t received any call from them.
I know the difference in amount is not much, but I wonder why they informed me the issue was resolved, without reversing the amount. I urge everyone to be aware of such matters, and to check their statements every time.
