Cheques issued for the benefit of a friend who stops paying his loan

Hi there,

Last year in January, one of my friends asked me to give cheques to him to buy a flat on rent and he gave me the reason that he is having bank issues that's why he cannot use his cheques.

He promised me that he will pay on time and I will not face any issues. But after April, he stopped paying and I started getting calls and emails that I am having a case in the police and the civil court. I have a travel ban.

My dept is 60,000 AED. I don't have enough money to pay this amount and that guy isn't paying either.

Can anyone help me to get rid of this?

Thanks in Advance!
