Q: Salam Mr Khalifa, Quick question if possible. If someone has a credit card and he wants to stop it and discuss the settlement of the pending amount with the bank, will there be a travel ban during that period?

Q: I have missed my credit card payment by 15 days and I have confirmed back I will make the payment by 29th of this month. Meanwhile, I am planning to travel to India the coming month but I want to know if there will be any travel ban for me to go out of the UAE on my vacation due to the delay in payment.

Q: Ma’am My name is Mohammed A. Q. For the non-payment of a credit card, the bank called me and said they have a case against me and told me that they put on me a travel ban also. My police case is pending in Jabal Ali and my visa renewal is due in next month. Will it affect my visa renewal?

Q: Dear Ms. Please, I want to know there's a new law in 2018 about the bank cases if the bank opens a case then makes a travel ban, or they put me in jail until I pay. Thanks

Q: Hi Hari D. is here once more. I believe you remember we spoke last week regarding a bounced cheque. I have changed my job and will be starting my new role tomorrow. My credit card settlements will be due at the end of this month. My current employer pays salaries on the 15th of each month hence I will only be able to settle my card payments around that time. Previously, I used to get paid on 28th of the month. I just want to get your opinion if it will be advisable for me to inform the banks accordingly so that they can reschedule my card payment plans and I do not default in the future. They will be expecting payments at the end of June, but I won't get paid until July 15th. Thank you for your usual support.

س: السلام عليكم، إذا تكرمت، لقد فتحت قضية شيك، فهل يستطيع المشكو في حقه أن يسافر أم يجب أن أفرض منع من السفر؟

Q: Hi, I couldn't pay my credit card dues, and now I have received a message saying that a travel ban has been issued against me.
