Q: Dear Sir, My name is James Joseph and I wish to check if any case is registered against me in the UAE for not paying the credit card amount of AED 5000/-. Please, if possible let me know the procedures for how to check the same. Currently, I am residing outside the UAE and had worked in the UAE for the period from July 2005 - April 2008.

Q: Hi, I have just found out I have a police case filed by my bank on a credit card payment. I have a credit card with 25k limit and could not do minimum payments for 1 year (due to job loss), nevertheless, the bank filed a case against me for 190k. I do not understand on what ground and would like to know what to do. As well, how can I find out if I have a travel ban as I would rather try and solve the situation remotely from home than be concerned that I will be jailed here? Your advice is appreciated.

Q: Hi there. I had a debt in Dubai but last week I paid the full amount. As a result, they gave me a clearance letter to confirm the payment. With the debt solved so I'm allowed to fly to Dubai again. To be honest I don't know if the bank opened a police case against me but I suppose yes because I had a debt, correct? So now that I paid everything, can I enter in Dubai again? Thanks

Q: My husband is now serving a 1-year sentence in Dubai under a criminal case offence. By end of September 2018, he will finish his punishment. After that, if he applies for a Police Clearance Certificate from the embassy, will they provide it mentioning conduct is good?

Q: I want to check how many credit card cases are on my name.

س: مرحبًا، لقد عشت في دبي منذ حوالي 9 سنوات، وغادرت الدولة دون سداد متأخرات بطاقة ائتمان، وإن المبلغ ليس بكبير، ولكنني اعتقدت أنني لن أعود إلى الدولة مرة أخرى مهما كان السبب. ثم بمرور الوقت، فقدت أثر الدين. منذ ذلك الحين، حصلت على شهادة بحث الحالة الجنائية من شرطة دبي للهجرة إلى بلد آخر. كنت أتساءل إذا كان هذا يعني أن سجلي الجنائي سليمًا، وإذا سافرت عبر دبي، فلن أحتجز أو أي شيء من هذا القبيل.
