Detention at the airport due to credit card outstanding

Hello,

I had a credit card from a bank for AED 12,000. I failed to pay since I lost my job for the last 10 months. The bank stopped contacting me for 6 months.

I recently found a job and I have an emergency to fly back home. Will I be stopped at the airport and how can I know if the bank filed a case against me?

Thank you

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for reaching out to me on this.

Can you confirm if you had given a cheque to the bank for issuing the credit card?

If yes, then it is possible for the bank to bounce your cheque and file a police case.

This will result in detention at the airport. If no cheque is given, then you can travel safely.

I can assist you in checking if you have any pending police cases against you.

You can get in touch with me on that.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana
