Hi,
I decided to use this medium to let you people know i have an issue with a way First bank have decided to go about a certain process, thus I plan on shutting down my account as soon as I have the time!
I received a money gram which i decided to cash at one of your branches here in Lagos Island, but unfortunately from what i was told its not possible, simply because my account is dormant, please note the following about my issue:
1.It is a domicilliary account (£)
2. I still have £100 i purposely left there just to keep the account serviced
3. The moneygram i was sent is a £100 equivalent
4. I was told to make my account active i should pay in some money! (where by I can only pay £'s into my acc)

Please note my point here is i have £100 in my Dom acc which they claim is now dormant, so can note give me my money gram of £100!
So why should I leave £100 in the account since it seems not to be useful for me to cash my money gram?
How can i pay £'s into my account to activate it again just to cash out a measly £100?
This is so not fair to me & therefore I have decided to shut down my acc once i have the time, because i still have not been able to cash out my £100 moneygram, which was sent to me.
After i have kept a good record and even put about £5,000 on a fixed deposit with your bank when i opened my Dom acc.? Now I cant even use this same acc just to guaranty myself for £100 moneygram? This is terrible and unreasonable!!!!

Pls am I wrong to think so?
