Q: Is it true that the new rules say that paying a fine (which is 10% of the total loan) for not paying loans/credit card or bounced cheques will get someone cleared from loan/debt cases? After paying the fines, will a police clearance be issued and there is no more obligation to pay the previous loan amount now? If for example, someone owes the bank a total of AED 35000 late payments and interest, the person only pays a fine of AED 3500 and the case is cleared?

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. I am planning to travel and want to make sure if there will be any problem and how it will be cleared. The bank informed me that I need to get a clearance done from the court and take that to the police station to get the case released.

Q: Hi, I have a question. If the verdict comes to a criminal case as a fine, within how many days can we pay the fine and leave the country after getting a clearance certificate?

Q: Hi, A finance company had filed a police case against me. I have settled my credit at the police station and paid the fines. Do I still need to repay the credit card? And how will I know if I still have a police case?
