Credit card case and possibility of a travel ban
3
Q: Dear Sir,
I am a Dubai resident. I didn't pay my credit cards outstanding amount from last December 2018 onwards.
Actually one of my friends took from my card these amounts and he told me he will return back, but he cheated me. Now he told me he will sell his land in India and give me back.
But I want to know what are the legal problems which will come to me because I have to go to my home country (India) in August 2019 for my brother's marriage.
Everyday the bank people are calling and threatening me. I want to know if I will go to prison and all because my family is staying with me in the UAE.
And please tell me if the court calls me, how much fine do I have to pay?
I will mention my outstanding amounts below: Bank 1-45000, Bank 2 -24000, Bank 3 -10000.
Will there be any travel ban?

We have an existing tenancy contract in Sharjah, but due to unfortunate circumstances of this pandemic, my wife and I lost our jobs.
We already paid until December. Is there a current law where we can avoid paying the penalty of 2 months if we will end the contract earlier?

Getting a new employment visa while a cheque bounce case is being processed 3
Hi All,
I have an existing criminal "cheque bounce" case under my name for dishonoring loan payments. I'm also a victim of unpaid salaries and gratuity from the previous employer.
However, I have reached a stalemate in negotiating with the bank as they are not interested in accepting the money I could offer in the interim despite having a clear understanding of my predicament.
Finally, I have an offer from a company after all these months and I'm anticipating to accept this offer but I'm yet to resolve the criminal case!
Since the bank is not willing to negotiate, I've planned to pay the criminal case removal fee or fine to the Dubai Police. I know that the bank would immediately proceed with a civil case should that happen.
My question is how long does it take to file a civil case? And can they initiate a travel ban without appeal while filing the civil case in court?
Will it affect my capacity to get a new employment visa stamped and work in the UAE while the civil case is active?
