If everyone has been suing for issues like this, many banks in Nigeria will no longer exist.

Stüpid.
Allowing corporates ride roughshod over you everytime will encourage continued terrible service.
Please let's have sense. The West didn't develop by being "meek" or complacent.

from 50% of the responses on this topic, i can deduce that this country is devoid of hope for a better tomorrow.
A man has been maligned by a business that is set up for profit, he is seeking compensation and most people here are finding it funny and amusing.... it is a big shame!

You people should go and educate yourselves on how the legal process works so as to be better informed.

Yet, a good number of you are dreaming of moving to america or somewhere in europe.... have you asked yourselves why businesses in these places, especially the big ones don't joke around with any customer - even the least of them? The slightest mistake that causes any customer grief will see you paying your half years profit as compensation to that customer. The lawyers and the judicial systems in these countries live for these type of cases and that is why every aspect of their society functions the way it should. Social advancements and inventions for better living usually come from these type of law suits. Imagine if every single person that feels wronged by any business files a lawsuit and claims damages, do you know how many businesses - both government and private that will step up their game and procedures?


for example.....

In probably the most famous example of a seemingly trivial legal action is Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants, also known as the McDonald’s coffee case and the hot coffee lawsuit

In 1992 Stella Liebeck, a 79-year-old woman from Albuquerque, New Mexico, bought a cup of coffee from a drive through McDonalds and as she removed the lid, spilled the entire cup of coffee on her lap.

She was wearing cotton sweatpants; they absorbed the coffee and held it against her skin, scalding her thighs, buttocks, and groin.

Hospitalized for eight days while she underwent skin grafting, followed by two years of medical treatment she sued the fast food giant claiming it was too hot and more likely to cause serious injury than coffee served at any other establishment.

She won an astonishing £1.7million.

As a result of this, McDonald's stopped serving extremely hot coffee, except on request by the customer.


Do you think what the man is doing up there in the story is still trivial?

do4luv14:


he was rite on what he said,
mind you, the ATM:s always provides options regularly,

when his account was debited, without money coming out, he should have approach the bank as he did,

but refunding his money back is the duty of his bank, " diamond"
its as simple as ABC,

call a security explain to him, go to de bank explain, they contact you bank, and give you a note, then you approach your bank with the note to credit you acct back, simple


N.T > its a personal experience between sterling ATM, and GTB
and money was credited back


so the lawyer is looking for cheap cash period,

PrinceMario:
Oga read am wella, the ATM default policy is to refund you after 24 hours... The man has not got a refund after months, with their customer care throwing you jab as if it's not your pay .

Let him sue their ass... even if h doesn't get any compensation, it will send a very strong signal to them, to always address customers nicely.

Most of those rubbishing him, i laff at your ignorance. Use google. look uo the law of the internet and see whether or not he has a right to sue and if at all , his course is actionable. He should also sue the bank's isp provider for contributory negligence.

When u=you make an offer to the public that you advertising your professionalism, an another relies on it to make a decision, you are liable.

Much more when you deliberately or compulsorily compel them physically and psychologically to do an act that will benefit you, should he suffer any loss due to a failure on your part, you are liable.

Does he have action very well, yes. Has he fulfilled condition precedent before rushing to court?
That i cant say.
If he is a smart lawyer, he is sure to win. He should have added exemplary damages, so that charity organisations could benefit.
Hope one day i will be the one filing such an action. Na common letter mine dey end.

Though a wrong has been committed against Mr. Musa by access bank. I honestly do not see a cause of action in defamation... well I may be wrong...

fxskye:
Most comments here really show that most Nigerians don't understand their civic/customer right. The sue is ok but court reserves the right to grant his prayer (which is not likely though). However, he will get commensurable compensation if all facts were proven beyond reasonable doubts.

Implication of this case to banks.
It will make the banks to sit up to their primary responsibility of securing customer deposit
Bank would become more efficient in resolving transaction errors, especially the e-transaction errors like this one

Another corporate "unscrupulous" revenue means by Nigerian banks is the mandatory of SMS Alert Service by CBN on all individual account holders across all the banks.

Where as you insist not to subscribe for the service, bank gives you indemnity form which contains risky clauses that would frighten you from sign it.

Check out this Indemnity Form from GTB over SMS Alert Service Decline. The clauses on it are dangerous to be sign off. How on earth would GTB make me believe that Security to my Account lies solely on SMS Alert Service?

it is the duty of access bank not diamond bank. the ATM he used debited his account not his bank.

do4luv14:


I don't think you understand the process involves,

when such hapen, first is to report to the security, to come and validate your claims, then you go too the bank to complain, and obtain a note from Dem as some case maybe as well as fill some forms,

then you go to your bank who den contact access to varicy you position then refund you,

the processes of external ATM withdrawal is like loan or credits, wich at the ends of bizness is remit into the external banks acct by the internal bank,

I.E at the end of bis, diamond bank will credit access bank and debit his account, hence the note and contact from the two banks to refund his money

hope you get me here
