Effect of unpaid bank dues in Qatar on working in the UAE
5
Q: How will I know if I have a "travel ban" and "court case" against me in Abu Dhabi, UAE?
My next destination of work is Abu Dhabi city.
I just received a job offer now in Abu Dhabi, but I had an "unpaid personal loan and credit card" in Qatar due to recession/job loss due to termination due to the completion of the project I still have an outstanding balance.
I am afraid if my employment papers will be blocked and I can not be employed by my agency to Abu Dhabi to work.
Do I have to tell my employer about this issue? This is a personal problem for me only.
Thanks

Traveling to the UAE while there is a loan in Qatar

Q: Dear sir/madam,
I am deported from Qatar due to bringing Cocadamol not Tramadol medicine, even though those medicines are not banned in the respective country (in my case, the UK).
They did not take me to court and I was working there for nearly 14 months. After that incident and then one day while I was coming back to the UK for holidays, they stopped me at the airport and put me in the deportation center.
Will I be able to work anywhere in the UAE as it will not affect getting a visa?
Secondly, I had a loan from a bank in Qatar to which I was making regular payments on time since I took the loan but due to my deportation, I was not able to stay up to date with my payments.
If I come to the UAE for work, will this create problems for me? However, the bank was Qatar-based.
Kindly suggest the best for me.
Thanks!

I got a loan in Qatar but I left and I am working right now in the UAE. Due to Covid, I could not continue paying the loan.
Now, they sent me a legal notice to pay the full amount. I want to pay but I don't have the full amount.
What are the options I can have before I reply to the mail?

Traveling to the UAE with a loan in Qatar. Are there any potential issues?



2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I worked in Qatar for 15 years as an HR/Admin Executive. During the corona time, I contracted the virus and came to India in May 2021 for better treatment while on leave.
While on leave, the company terminated my employment and forcibly took registration. My settlement was sent to the bank, but I still have an outstanding loan of about 80,000 Qatari riyals, and the bank has banned me in Qatar.
Now, I am considering working in the UAE. Are there any potential issues?
Please advise me!

Any issues traveling to Dubai for work with a loan in Qatar?




1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
I had a bank loan/credit card in Qatar back in 2015, which I paid off until I was there (March 2017). After losing my job, I was unable to secure a well-paid position to cover the remaining debts.
Numerous agents from a collection agency contacted me, even threatening me with a travel ban in the GCC, legal action, etc. Now, I have received a job offer in Dubai, and I would like to accept it.
Will I face any issues when I land in Dubai? I'm willing to pay the outstanding debt if the bank allows me to work and repay it.

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?
