The bank rejected his application after his name was found in the blacklist of the Saudi Credit Bureau, local Arabic daily Okaz reported Wednesday. It was revealed that Abdul Halim Bukhari, the teacher, wanted the loan to buy a car. Bukhari started to investigate why he had been blacklisted and after a long search he found, to his horror, that when he paid off his new credit card dues the amount he had given was a single riyal short! He said the father of one of his students convinced him to buy a credit card in order to be eligible for a bank loan. He said he would not be entitled to another loan for six months, according to the bank’s rules. Bukhari lives in Al-Salmiyah district in northeast Jeddah, while his school is in Al-Mhrouqat district, 15 km away.
