Savings in BRI

Savings in BRI

From Kompas

I am the youngest child in my family. When my parents died the inheritance was divided among the children (there are six of us). Since I was still a small child at the time, the money was kept for me by my elder sister Lisna Juwita.

The money (Rp 750,000) was deposited in Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) in Cengkareng, West Jakarta. We lost the records of the bank account and when I inquired about it at BRI, only Rp 40,000 was left. Helped by the police, my sister found out that an employee of the Bank had caused the loss. So the director of the Bank promised to settle the matter and return the missing money.

However, it proves to be an empty promise. I just want the money back, even without the interest. Rp 750,000 may be quite an insignificant amount to the bank's employees, but I need the money badly to pay my university fees.

Can the BRI Central Office do something about it?
