1. I received the email below. Based on this email, I wanted to close my Ola Money account (it is inactive at the moment).
2. The first comment is Ola's email response. Please suggest how to proceed with closure.
Will I be required to reopen the account? Or can I force closure via RBI Ombudsman, or escalation via Ola Twitter?
3. Side note - I never needed Ola Money account, I work in tech and opened it just to try the new business model. Ola never specified it was a Personal Loan account. I close it as soon as I found that out.
4. My CIBIL report state this as "Personal Loan - Inactive".
