I paid the full amout of my car loan after a case by the bank but the execution is still active. How to stop it? 0
The bank filed repossession of the car last year, and the amount was fully paid in court almost a month ago.
A petition was also filed to remove the execution, as the full amount is paid; however, there is no progress.
Please advise on the process to swiftly remove the same.
Thank you!

The bank is not lifting my travel ban despite my fulfillment of the settlement agreement. What to do? 0
Good day,
I am writing to respectfully seek your assistance regarding the lifting of my travel ban. I have been following up with the bank for over two months and, as instructed, filed a court petition, which is still pending.
As per Clause 4 of the signed settlement agreement, the travel ban should be lifted after six consecutive salary transfers and payments, along with submission of an employment letter or salary certificate.
I provided the bank with my employment letter and an official company email confirming the salary transfer issue due to a company labor dispute.
Despite this, and after making consistent EMI payments for two years, I am now being asked for documents not included in the agreement, such as a new labor contract, salary transfer letter, and six-month bank statements.
I have now raised this matter with the Head of Collections and copied the CEO, and I kindly request your urgent assistance in resolving this issue as per the terms of the signed agreement.

Legal advice needed on out-pass exit permit & spouse visa process 0
Subject:
Hello,
My name is M. R. F. Z., a Sri Lankan national currently in Dubai. I urgently require legal guidance regarding my immigration status and next steps. Briefly:
An out-pass was issued without my knowledge due to visa complications.
I need to exit the UAE on this out-pass and explore options to return on a visit visa, then adjust status to a spouse residence visa (by status change).
I am uncertain whether it is mandatory for me to fly back to Sri Lanka, or if I can exit to a nearby country such as Oman or another GCC country and re-enter for the spouse visa process.
Due to family circumstances, it is very difficult for me to travel to Sri Lanka at this time, so I would strongly prefer the nearest country option if legally possible.
Could you please let me know if your firm handles such cases?
If so, what is your consultation fee and availability for an initial discussion?
