Will I be arrested in GCC countries for my UAE credit card debt?
Greetings,
I was terminated by my company in May 2016 because they were cutting the number of staff. I had a credit card with 10,000AED that I used fully. I was unable to reach the bank and so far I have never received any call or email from them.
I was struggling with unemployment all this time and couldn’t pay my debt, I have no intentions to not pay because it’s Haram/prohibited in my religion. Recently, I got a job offer in another GCC country and I want to go there and pay my debt using my salary.
My question is, will I be arrested in that GCC country at the airport?
I don’t know if a police case has been filed against me or not, what I know is I am morally obligated to pay my debt and the only way I can do it is if I start that new job, my family is poor and my country has no job opportunities.
I’m afraid to be detained and sent to the UAE, this will not solve the issue, nobody will be able to pay for me and jail won’t solve the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards.
عزيزي السائل،
إجابةً عن سؤالك:
سوف يتم القبض عليك في دولة من دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي في حالة وجود قضية ضدك في هذه الدولة أو إذا كان هناك حكم صادر ضدك في الإمارات وتم التصديق عليه في تلك الدولة. هذا لا يبدو ممكنًا إذا كنت لم تعش هناك أبدا أو انتقلت إلى هناك للتوّ.
أنصحك بعدم إخبار البنك بموقع عملك الجديد إلى أن تتمكن من رد الدين.
تحياتي،
