Sincerely banks do make us go crazy,(irrespective of who you are).
The popular actress,Gloria Young, is one of the many people who have lost it while demanding that her bank retracts a debited fund.
The iconic actress was recently spotted at a bank where she caused a scene that definitely wasn’t in a movie.
The drama was caused by the bank’s failure to refund her N20,000 which was debited since December 2014.
Gloria Young explains herself she says;
“I went to use an ATM at Ejigbo, close to NNPC bus-stop in Lagos in December. I wanted to withdraw N20,000 but the machine did not dispense the money after debiting my account. I went to the second machine and it paid me. After six days without hearing a word from the bank, I went to complain. I also went to my bank to report the situation. This was in December. I have gone to them so many times to talk about it but all to no avail.”
“Now my lawyer is about to serve them a letter. He has been speaking with them but the bank keeps calling me to beg me instead of paying me my money. The matter has been dragging for too long. I am very angry at my bank because if they cannot fight for me because of N20,000, then they cannot fight for me when it comes to millions of naira. The amount might not sound like a big deal but it can pay some people’s salary. It is not just about me but others who go through similar situations. A letter from my lawyer would soon get to them.”

Good on you Gloria. Every week one of the staff from my former school had to visit the bank to ask them to return money to their account that was not dispensed at the ATM. It can go on for months and is very frustrating. There are some very arrogant staff at banks in Nigeria and even when they are wrong they try and blame the customer. I have never found this behaviour in any other country I have lived in. For some of these people it could be the only money they have and they are left with nothing.
