The closure order says I told the bank or the Ombudsman's office over the phone that my issue was resolved and I was satisfied. I never agreed to that. How do I contest it?

This happens more than it should. A closure under the "complainant is satisfied" ground (Clause 14(8)(b) in recent orders) is non-appealable, so a casual phone call can end your complaint.
What to do:
To prevent it next time, say in your complaint and your comments that you only accept communication in writing and won't confirm resolution by phone. That way a phone-based closure contradicts your stated position on the record.
