NIGERIAN BANKS, STOP THE ILLEGAL CHARGES! OFTEN TIMES THAN CALLED FOR, CUSTOMERS OF COMMERCIAL BANKS WAKE UP TO AN UNPLEASANT DEBIT ALERT

Nigerian Banks, Stop the Illegal Charges! Oftentimes than called for, customers of commercial banks wake up to an unpleasant debit alert

Nigerian Banks, Stop the Illegal Charges! Oftentimes than called for, customers of commercial banks wake up to an unpleasant debit alert! Sad thing is I have been a victim of this so do many Nigerians and we begin to wonder when did we signed this as part of the terms and agreement when opening an account or requesting for an automated teller machine card ATM.

I as a customer of not less than two banks i can tell you various instances of illegal debit alerts that almost drop tears from my eyes as a result of the tight spot these debits has left me. 

An instance of this is leaving me stranded without any transportation left on me, after the said debit of #1075 (One thousand Seventy Five Naira) for an auto card reissue out of #1100 (One Thousand One Hundred Naira) was sent to me that evening which my bank suddenly decided to debit me for an ATM card reissue that has expired since October 2022 after I received a credit alert meant for my transportation back home, the rest was indeed history the world awaits to hear.

WE WAIT NO MORE TO TAKE ACTION !!!

We are requesting for anyone, willing to join and stop this act by signing this petition to take up a class action as a result of an unpleasant experience faced by these commercial banks "who thinks placing their customers on auto debit for a card reissue is a good business strategy" and refunding the money back after some degree of damages had already been done.

HERE ARE FEW QUESTIONS WE WANT CLARITY

Why will commercial banks place a saving’s account holder under auto debits for card reissue? This is entirely the customer choice to request for one whenever he/she wants to! Not to be auto imposed!!

Where in the terms of agreement does it state that a customer will be placed on auto debit when his/her debit card expires after some months?

Why will you do such a thing to a populace of a Nation faced with triple digit inflation knowing fully well with a recent instance that the customer got credited with the sum of #1100 and within seconds you auto debit the customer, why will you do such a thing without being authorized by a request from the customer?

However our petition is to Stop Illegal Bank Charges by commercial banking system in Nigeria and to hold commercial banks responsible for cases of such mismanagement of customers savings with such auto debit charges that often times caused the customers lot of inconvenience that leads to hunger and being stranded from commuting to their destination at the time of such illegal debits. Please share this petition for more signatures

This is unlawful, illegal, unfair and definitely an inconsiderate business strategy which needs to be stopped by appropriate law enforcement agencies in line with the banking system regulations. This therefore calls for urgent attention, support and signatures to stop this act from commercial banks. 

Thank you.
