Credit chaos
3 November 2010
A friend who lost his job recently sought my help with regard to his credit card. He was holding a credit card with a local bank, which had a limit of Dh 2500. Upon receiving his termination letter, he informed the bank about it and he was told to clear all his outstanding before his departure.
He duly paid an outstanding of Dh 1300 on it before he left the country. All the information was appropriately conveyed to the bank through its telephone banking system. There was no payment outstanding and he had not used his card during his notice period of one month. Now, after two months, he is getting calls for an outstanding amount of Dh 250. Before leaving the country he spoke with the bank whether he could avail an exemption using the insurance policy on the card considering the job retrenchment scenario. But, unfortunately, that facility was not approved stating that he had delayed his monthly payment one or two times. He is still fighting for clearing his name.
It is, therefore, important for all to take care of the payment dates and if payments are delayed, make sure your insurance coverage is still valid with your bank. If they do not, it is better to cancel the coverage, as it is no longer of any use. It is always important to get an all clearance letter from the bank before leaving the country.

The T-20 series between Pakistan and South Africa finished with South African winning on a 2-0 margin. The series moved on to one-day matches and as cricket lovers we all expected a come back attitude from Pakistan. It looks like the Pakistan team has taken this South African team and its members very lightly.

The ongoing Champions League T20 match reports along with the photographs make for an interesting read. The matches played so far have generated valid points in terms of player values and team composition. It has proved that however old they are, experienced players like Anil Kumble, Muttiah Muralidharan, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid still hold best techniques when it comes to business on ground.
Opportunities for emerging players, especially with the calibre of R Ashwin and J Vandiar can also be seen.
The games also show how different players from different countries handle pressure. An excellent example is the gesture of D Jacobs when he gestured to his partner Ashwell Prince to continue playing with confidence when he ran him out.
Millions of young players will be watching how some players gesticulate to opposition players when they get them out. Watching those, I feel, ICC should follow FIFA procedures and fine those players who use abusive local languages on field.
ICC websites should also be adapted to include options to rate and comment on players’ performance to consider the player of year award.

Road signs

I refer to the report, ‘Portable message signs make capital roads safer’ (KT, July 14), and take this opportunity to congratulate the Department of Transportation, Abu Dhabi, once again on this safety-oriented move.
The effectiveness of these signs was noticed immediately after they were installed. The report, ‘Solar-powered warnings’(KT, January 16) gave elaborate details of it. These progressive measures are effective as they make sure the public takes notice of them.
Innovative efforts like these are carried out from time to time with the safety of life and property in mind. The public should take this seriously and abide by the rules so as to reduce accidents. Let patience and good sense prevail.
