Inquiring about police cases for defaulting on loan and credit card
59
Q: Good day!
I would like to know how can I know if the finance company files a case against me!
If I inquire at the nearest police station, is there a possibility that they can detain me if the finance company filed a case against me?
I have a loan and a credit card, but unfortunately, I was not able to pay them for almost 11 months now due to financial problem.
That's why I want to know if they already filed a case against me and hope you can help me with this matter.

Legal assistance in checking case details after failing online

0
Q: Dear Sir,
Good Day.
I have already done a case check and found out that I have 2 cases. But when I checked on Dubai Police website where I put my Emirates ID and my updated mobile, I found no record.
I asked the lawyer if I could get the case number so that I know in case anything happened. But he didn't give any. Also, there were no documents about my case to show.
I just want to know if it is possible to keep from me the details? How will I know if the procedure for my case is really on-going?
Thank you.

Hope you are well.
What are my rights for establishing an e-com business meant for trading outside the UAE.
1) Do I still need the UAE trade license?
2) Can I receive payments in the UAE banks through international online business since I live in the UAE and would be here for some more time?

Filing criminal and civil cases against a company for cheque bounce 0
Hello,
I hope you're all doing well during this tough time.
I have a question in regards to bounced cheques, specifically corporate cheques.
I have a cheque for AED 800,000, and it has bounced. The owner of the corporate has asked for a month to pay back. However, I am worried he will leave the country and not honour his obligation.
My questions are fairly simple:
1) Am I to put a case on the individual who signed it or the corporate?
1) If I put a criminal and civil case on the corporate right now and he's unable to settle amicably, can I put a travel ban on the owner (who signed) as it is a corporate case?
2) Does the new insolvency law as of late 2019 also apply to corporates?
3) Is the owner personally liable if the company doesn't have assets or cash?
