3
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I lost my job in 2018, and in 2019, the bank opened a criminal case against me for defaulting on my loan. I attended the hearing with a judge and was told to pay a fine of AED 7,000, which I did.
The bank was then taken over by another bank in 2020/2021.
In late 2022, the new bank that took over is calling me to clear my loan, but I never signed anything with them, and my case was before the takeover.
Am I still entitled to pay the new bank?

I lost my job and left the UAE where I can no longer pay my bank loan. Can I come back?

1
Q: I have a bank loan and due to the loss of my job, I was unable to pay and currently out of the UAE.
I have a few questions if someone please would be kind enough to guide me on them:
"The bank has not filed the case yet".
1. The bank is asking me to pay the minimum 10% of the outstanding, I wish to know if this is a legal requirement or if I can pay any amount as a down payment in court.
2. Since has not filed the case my rating is bad on AECB, so will the police arrest me based on my rating, or does the case has to be filed first?
3. If I am arrested, will I be presented before the judge and can I offer to start paying installments or do I have to pay the downpayment?
Kindly, do guide me on these and if I can get a good attorney so that I can hire the attorney to help me settle things with the bank.

العواقب المترتبة على فقدان العمل والتخلف عن الالتزامات المالية 26
إن إدارة الشؤون المالية للفرد أمر بالغ الأهمية، ويجب الأخذ في الاعتبار جميع الأحداث أثناء التقيد بالتزام مالي. سواء كان فقدان الوظيفة هو الذي أدى إلى الإخفاق المالي أو العكس، فيجب أن يكون المرء على دراية بالمسؤولية الشخصية التي لن تتلاشى من خلال دفع الغرامات في قضايا الشيكات المرتجعة. هناك نوعان رئيسيان من المسؤوليات، وهما المسؤولية الجنائية والمسؤولية المدنية. لكل منها أهميته الخاصة، وبالتالي، يجب التعامل مع كلا النوعين تبعًا لذلك.

عرض الجميعTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.

Hello,
Can an employer post an employee's photo on social media, LinkedIn or Instagram, without the employee's consent?
Secondly, the employer is forcing the employee to update the company details in the employee's profile.
I believe LinkedIn and Instagram are personal profiles and one cannot be forced to update the details. This photo was taken in the office.

My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and bounced cheque. How to follow up? 0
Hello.
My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and a bounced cheque. The client's company is registered as a virtual office in the Creative City Free Zone in Fujairah, so our case is filed there.
The client basically purchased some equipment from us, and his payment via bank transfer did not go through and was rejected. Then, when we deposited his security cheque after multiple attempts to contact and no answer, the cheque bounced.
The company is under his wife's name, and we have filed a case on the same.
The court has accepted our application, however, they have instructed the execution bureau to get the Emirates ID of this authorised signatory. The bureau is asking us to get it, and we have no way to do so, unfortunately.
Without the Emirates ID, the court cannot freeze the bank accounts or put a travel ban, etc.
What are our options here?
