The Closed Account Dispute Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian banking operations, used when an account holder needs to formally contest issues related to a closed bank account. These issues might include unauthorized closure, disputed final balances, unresolved charges, or problems with final settlements. The document must align with Nigerian banking regulations, particularly the BOFIA 2020 and CBN Consumer Protection Framework. It serves as the first formal step in the dispute resolution process, documenting the account holder's grievances and requested remedies. The letter should be detailed enough to establish a clear record of the dispute while maintaining a professional tone. It may be used as evidence in regulatory investigations or legal proceedings if the dispute escalates beyond the bank's internal resolution process.
