Please Help Me...wema ALAT Is Killing Me! by Revfada: 10:18am On Jun 08, 2020 |
So here is my story. I opened a WEMA Alat account sometime ago and I subscribed to their saving plan, Alat goal. So far I have saved up to 935k with them. Trouble started about last two months when I needed cash badly, so I made a move to pull out my funds. Alat WEMA won't let me pull out the funds, they kept saying error and that I should try later. I kept trying to no avail. I contacted the customer care, they promised to look into it. With the assurance that the issue would be fixed, I took a 20 percent interest loan from them. My plans was to pay back the loan as soon as they release my funds, which normally they would deducted automatically. I noticed this bank was so quick to give me the requested loan but they won't release my funds. I tried to withdraw my funds days later with the mindset that the issue has been fixed, yet I still couldn't. Still saying error, try again later. I got back to their customer care. This was their reply. "We are so sorry about that. We understand delays could be very frustrating. A fresh reminder has been forwarded to appropriate unit." They kept repeating same thing for the past two months, nothing was done. I have been forced to keep taking out loans to survive while my funds lie idle there. Mind you, this loans are on a 20 percent interest rates...and the interest rate have been steadily climbing daily. They have refused to release my funds and no reason was given why my funds are not being released, just fake promises of forwarding my complaints to the appropriate unit. Please guys what do I do to make this people take me seriously? How can I get my funds? Can I report them to CBN? If YES, how do I do that? This is over 2 months, yet nothing is done. I have been patient enough. Mods please help to take this to front page, I really need exposure on this issue. I need help, please. Cc dominique MrKnowitall

Go to a physical branch to withdraw your money from Alat account. I guess you need to open a normal WEMA account first. Just request for transfer of funds. You will fill some form and will receive your funds within minutes 1 Like 1 Share |

matrixme:I have been to their physical bank to complain, I wasn't told to do any of this. Instead the customer agenr spoke to someone at the head quarter on phone, after which he told me the issue is being resolved. This was since last week. |

Revfada: I suspect the funds you have in the bank were used as collateral for the loan you took from the bank. It is likely that there is a lien on your funds and will only be lifted when you fully pay back the loan |
Re: Please Help Me...wema ALAT Is Killing Me! by Revfada: 11:22am On Jun 08, 2020 |
SavageResponse:No that's not the issue here. I only started taking out loans when they refused to release my funds. And moreover, paying off an alat loan is automatic, especially when you're liquidating an alat goal. They debit the loan from your fund automatically when you're pulling out your funds from the saving plan. |

Akerewe: Revfada In addition to doing what has been mentioned above, since they've refused to attend to your complaints, forward those complaints to cpd@ cbn.gov.ng and/or contactcbn@cbn.gov.ng. But honestly, these banks are becoming brazenly incompetent these days. 4 Likes |

I suspect you are in a fixed deposit account and funds can't be released until the tenure ends. Look at the high interest the money has earned which is a pointer to my submission Cc Revfada 1 Like |
Re: Please Help Me...wema ALAT Is Killing Me! by Revfada: 4:27pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
ogawisdom:I am not in a fixed deposit account. It's simply a saving plan. Those using alat knows what i am talking about. The interest you saw were accumulated right from February, so it's not high. Infact the interest rate was reduced from a barely 10% to about 4-5% |

Like someone suggested,go on twitter.I did that foe Gotv and it worked.Lay your complaints there.These corporate organisations dont want their public image to be damaged with its attendant effects.Once you lay a public complaints thru twitters amd tag appropriate regulatory authority, they will respond like a speed of light.Social.media.has its positive impact.You can tell them you were forces to take loan when they didnt respond to you. |
Re: Please Help Me...wema ALAT Is Killing Me! by Revfada: 9:17am On Jun 09, 2020 |
udwise123:It wasn't a network error either. I have used mtn, glo and swift networks, nothing worked. I have even resorted to changing device, still nothing. It's an error from alat's end. |
Re: Please Help Me...wema ALAT Is Killing Me! by Revfada: 9:19am On Jun 09, 2020 |
Rapture4real:You are right, they are so eager to please now, got another call from them this morning, promising me resolution of my complaints today. |

But why do Nigerian commercial banks always wait to be dragged before doing the right thing. We've seen a myriad of these complaints and it's just discouraging. It's almost as if the moment your money is in their hands and you're an ordinary citizen, you become mugu to them. I tire o. Na so GTBank chop my scholarship money that year. By the time my eyes opened it was too late. Story for another day sha. |
