Fraud of a company on the final settlement and credit card of an employee

Respected Sir / Madam,

On Mar 2014, my manager was in the process of transferring my visa to the main company.

On his personal guarantee and assurance, he asked me to sign the receipt of AED 34,894/- towards my full and final settlement for the period I worked from August 2007 to March 2014.

Nevertheless, he never made any payment and just assured that he'll pay the same later, saying that the company used my dues for company urgent expenses.

Also between April 2014 to December 2014, and on many occasions, he requested on his personal guarantee and assurance to use my credit card for company official payments. The amount outstanding is AED 13,337/-.

When I started to follow up on my dues, he simply kept dragging and assuring the payment. I begged him many times to clear my dues but he never made any attempt to pay my dues.

He conned, lied and cheated me with my hard earned money, along with the employer.

The company is closed now and we both are working in different companies.

Please advise regarding the legal options to get my dues from him.

Regards,

Vinod

Dear Questioner,

You have obviously made a few very bad decisions in the past, and now you are paying the price for these bad decisions.

You have to provide a proof of all your words by documents, in order to have a case to claim the amounts mentioned.

If you cannot, it will be very difficult to help you. Do you have any written confirmations or witness to your story?

Regards,

Ahmed Elnaggar

Good Morning Sir,

Thanks for the reply

I do understand that it was too bad a decision to trust a person and the company, and I am really paying a big price for the decision.

I never thought that they would ever make a conspiracy to cheat me as I have known them for more than 15 years and worked with them.

As a proof, I only have the emails I had sent them requesting to clear my dues which they never acknowledged.

There are few colleagues who worked with us and are aware of the matters and can stand as witnesses to the above case.

Please advise if I can fight a case to claim my dues.

Yours sincerely,

Vinod

Yes, you can. Email messages are considered as strong proof before Dubai Courts. I had a loan case that was completely based on email communications.

We were able to win the case and now we are in the enforcement procedures. Also, bringing witnesses strengthens your case.

Let me know if you would like to proceed. You can contact me through aelnaggar@lkmbgroup.com
