“Societe Generale” closes the accounts of a client and deprives him of his salary for winning a case against the bank

Anyone who is not yet convinced that the Lebanese government is in favor of the banks should review their accounts. Every day there is new evidence that banks control every aspect of people’s lives. With the support of their livelihood, the education of their children, their regulated salaries and the collection of their fatigue, which they accumulated, a lira, the banks try to take it all at once. In short, what banks are doing today, and what they have been doing since the beginning of the economic-financial crisis, is violating the rights of depositors by illegally depriving them of their money. Day after day, it establishes its role of “controlling” the rights of depositors, through singularity in decision-making and forcing them to submit to them, regardless of the legality of said decisions.

In the last of these chapters, what the Société Générale (Chtoura branch) did against its “client” 12 years ago, Ali Deeb Al-Sahili, decided to “cut off any banking relationship” with the man after winning a lawsuit against the bank that allowed him to transfer what was worth $ 4,000 from his frozen account to his student son’s account at a Ukrainian university!
Bank officials were “expelled” from the Sahel, for which they decided to punish him by breaking that relationship, which caused him to be deprived of his retirement pension for two consecutive months. Today he is approaching the third month, while he refrains from giving him a “clearance” that allows him to open an account at another bank.
The story began two months ago, when Sahili gave up “peaceful” attempts to persuade the bank to agree to transfer a sum of money to her son to enroll in university and pay the rent for the room in which he lives. He had only gone to the judiciary by filing a complaint with Zahle’s urgent affairs judge to have him release part of the retirement allowance frozen in the bank and send it to his son. After presenting the necessary documents “from the application for registration to the application for residence and a letter from the Lebanese embassy in Kiev”, the judge issued his “urgent” decision forcing the bank to “transfer four thousand dollars from the plaintiff’s account, Ali Deeb Al-Sahili, at his son Hussein’s account, immediately and under pain of a coercive fine. 10 million pounds for each day of delay in implementation. “In the text of the decision, the judge considered the decision of the bank as a violation of legitimate labor rights, which requires “eliminating this violation.” He stressed that the transfer of funds, whether national or international, is evident, since it is considered one of the usual services that banks are supposed to they provide to their clients, in accordance with national and international standards. Therefore, it is not a service they provide, but rather part of their duties towards their clients. In the case of Al-Sahili, the bank saw He loses his rights as a client, especially since he has close to $ 60,000 in his account, while he refrains from transferring 4,000 of them to his son’s account.

The bank refused to give the customer an authorization that would allow him to use another bank

As for the third and most important reason, it is that the bank’s default on the part of the bank has harmed the third party, who is the son of the invoker, by “depriving him of the possibility of continuing his school year and paying the rent and expenses. of maintenance “.
This decision was issued on July 24, and on August 14, the bank sent a letter to Al-Sahili, informing him to cut its relationship with him for “the case against our bank (…) to force him to transfer (in US dollars) forcibly onto your child abroad based on facts and arguments. Legal incorrect ». Consequently, the bank decided, on its own, “to close all accounts opened in its name and to liquidate them after canceling all payment messages associated with them, including but not limited to bank cards (…)”. “We also ask that you go to our bank branch in Chtoura to receive the original check assigned to your order, with a value of sixty thousand nine hundred nineteen dollars and sixty-six cents.”
After refraining for two consecutive months from receiving the “non-dissolving and non-compressing” check, Al Sahili leaned in the end for authorization. However, the accounts in his field did not match the accounts of the “Société Baidar”, which refused to give him the authorization, which prevents Al-Saheli from opening any account in another bank, and which also means that luck your child’s “will be expulsion with a college warning.”
