س: لدي شركة تأجير سيارات. أعاد أحد العملاء سيارة مستأجرة لكنه لم يدفع قيمة الإيجار حتى الآن، كما أن هناك أيضًا مخالفات مرورية مستحقة عليه بقيمة حوالي 25,000 درهم. لقد حصلت على الأوراق (التي تُثبت كافة الغرامات وفاتورة الإيجار) مّوقعة من جانبه لكنه لم يدفع، ماذا يجب علي أن أفعل لاسترداد أموالي؟ يرفض العميل بكل بساطة دفع أي شيء ويقول إنه ليس لديه نقود في الوقت الحالي. ويساورني القلق بشأن دفع المخالفات المرورية.

س: مرحبًا، لدي ديون غير مسددة مستحقة لشركة تأجير سيارات مقرها في إمارة دبي. ليس لديهم شيك ضمان موقع مني ولكنهم حصلوا على وديعة تأمين. لقد رفعت الشركة قضية في فبراير 2019. لقد عرفت ذلك عندما تحققت إلكترونيًا من النظام؛ كما تم ذكر المركز الذي تم تسجيل الشكوى به.     ولكن منذ شهرين، لم تعد تظهر هذه البيانات على شبكة الإنترنت. يُرجى إخباري ماذا قد يكون سبب ذلك وكيفية متابعة الإجراءات لتوضيح الأمر. شكرًا.

Q: Hi, I was working in Dubai and the owner of the company where I was working ran away from Dubai leaving all the employees stuck. I was driving a rental car rented by the company as part of the contract between me and the company. When I cancelled my visa, there was nobody to take the car from me so I left it with my friend who delivered the car later to one employee who returned it back to the rental car company. I am now applying for a good conduct certificate from Dubai, would this car issue cause any troubles for me?

Q: I have a problem with a driver who took my car whilst I was out of the country and imposed many fines and black points and caused an accident. He also stole money from my maid that we had left for her whilst we were out of the country. Originally, he admitted to the crimes and went to the traffic department with my husband and said to transfer the points - but they could not due to his license expiry. He has now renewed his license but refused to take responsibility and says he can't afford to pay. We now can not re-register the car and he is refusing to take the black points and pay the fines. We have been advised by the police and Dubai Courts to open a civil case against him. He has 8 black points on his license, and he has now impounded my car with 23 black points. The fines amount to AED 11200 and stole a further AED 2150. Can you please advise me of the process and the cost I would incur if I was to open a civil case against him?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My husband accidentally hit a child while parking his car and did not report the incident to the police at the scene. The child has a mild fracture. What if it's reported to the police two days later?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I hired a rental car, and it was involved in an accident. I'm a new license holder. However, the accident was caused by my colleague and was registered under his license, with an ARC report generated (minor scratches only). Now, the rental car company is asking me to pay 10,000 DHS because I let someone else drive the car, saying the insurance won't cover this. But I don't have that kind of money. What can be done in this situation?
