Q: Hi Sir, My credit card cheque was bounced and I got in jail and paid the fine after the public prosecution hearing, but they did not give me a clearance. They just let me out in the jail. I would like to ask if I have a travel ban. The bank keeps sending me and for the 8th time that my cheque was bounced again. Is it also possible that they can repeatedly bounce my cheque? They also threatened me that they will file a civil case a week after the other case was finished.

Q: Hello, I am currently in India and I have already received the release letter from the bank for the outstanding loan, but when I check online from India on Dubai police website it is still showing that I have bounced cheque on my name.

Q: I have a bounced cheque for 5000 and the police called me to the police station. I spoke to the person and settled it outside the police station.

The original cheque deposited has already been returned to me.

س: السلام عليكم، لدي استفسار لو تكرمت بخصوص طلب الحالة الجنائية بعد إلغاء الإقامة والسفر وترك الدولة. بعد 3 شهور من ذلك قام البنك برفع قضية بمبالغ مسحوبة من بطاقة الائتمان تعذر دفعها بسبب فقد الوظيفة. السؤال: هل في حالة طلبي شهادة الحالة الجنائية بعد فترة مثل 3 سنوات لتقديمها للحصول على جنسية في دولة أوربية تطلب هذه الشهادة - هل تؤثر عليها قضية البنك أم لا؟ علمًا بأن الشهادة تصدر عن فترة مدة الإقامة فقط.
