My friend used my credit card for his bill payments and purchases for his business of around AED 70k. He used my two credit cards, and now he is not repaying them. I tried to call and message him, but no reply. How can I recover this money?

I am seeking your urgent legal assistance regarding my current situation in the UAE. I am a former Branch Manager whose residence visa expired on 23 May 2025, and I have exceeded the grace period of three months. Unfortunately, I was unable to cancel my visa due to an arrest warrant arising from non-payment issues linked to the company I was previously employed with. On 16 August 2025, I was arrested and attended the Prosecutor’s hearing on 17 August 2025. I was released with an ankle tracker under the condition that partial payment must be made by 16 September 2025. At present, I am no longer employed by the Company. My labour card has been cancelled. I have not received my final settlement or end-of-service benefits. I am a single mother sponsoring a child, and urgently need to regularize my visa status to be able to work again. I want your guidance and representation on the following: How to resolve or remove the arrest warrant/tracker condition/my name from this case?

Dear Sir/Ma'am, I am planning to bring my father to Dubai for a visit. He left Dubai in 2009 due to serious medical reasons and left his car with his cousin, with an outstanding bank installment for the car, which was around AED 10,000. We subsequently cancelled his visa. It has been over 10 years, and I am concerned about potential fines or travel bans, as we are unsure if the remaining car payments were completed by his cousin. We are not on speaking terms with his cousin, so I cannot confirm this. I found that checking fines or travel bans usually requires an Emirates ID, but my father left Dubai before Emirates IDs were introduced and only has his passport. The company he worked for also no longer exists. Could you please advise if there is another way to check for fines? Kind regards!

I am currently subject to a travel ban because of a personal loan. I wish to settle this matter and lift the travel ban. Would it be more advantageous to make the payment in court or directly to the bank?

I had a criminal case registered against me due to a telegram scam in Dubai. But I didn't know about it. It's been more than 6 months, and now I know about the case against me again. Can I appeal it in court, or will the judgment be enforced now?
