Consequences of missing credit card payments
18
Q: After missing 2 months of payments on a credit card, the bank presented a security cheque on my current account for AED 101,000 and it bounced.
They have said that they have filed a case with the police and issued a travel ban. I have since made a minimum payment as requested and plan to discuss repayment with the collections department.
As a businessman, I travel to other countries. Will I now be subject to a travel ban/ be detained at the airport / taken to prison?

Security check due to credit cards and bank loan

1
Q: Asalam,
Hope my message finds you in good health.
Please advise me. I have a few credit cards and one bank loan on me, and it's some time 4 years ago. I am sure now they have filed cases against me.
I am in my home country and willing to come to the UAE.
What is the problem I will be facing and does the judge have the right to give judgment without my appearance?
And how can I know what are the cases against me and what is their judgment?
Waiting for your informatic reply.
Thanks,
T.M.D

View allHow can I vacate my tenant if the rental agreement ends before the eviction notice deadline? 0
My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?
(b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not?
Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
