Settlement of a loan to avoid criminal and civil actions
Hi.
I got a loan of 30,000 from a finance company. I was paying my monthly EMI. After that, I lost my job and I wasn't able to pay.
Then I got another job. My employer applied for a visa but my name got a match with a guy who is blacklisted in the UAE.
After many attempts, I got the visa but I did not get my Emirates ID. Due to expired ID, my sim got blocked and I was not in contact with the finance company.
Even to date, I don't have an ID. Before a few months, the finance company put a case on me and I was unaware about that and I have no idea that there is running a case on me.
In my absence, the court gave a judgement of 5 months in prison. I'm still in the UAE. A few days ago, I was travelling from Sharjah to Oman and they arrested me at Sharjah airport.
I am on bail now. My next date in court will be in next week. I want to know is there any solution to avoid prison or convert prison to fine?

Dear Questioner,
Good afternoon.
Thanks for contacting online.
Since the above-mentioned judgment was in your absence and as you were unaware of it, you can make an objection over it and prefer appeal over this judgment.
The judge will decide the same in your presence based on the merits of the case.
Please feel free to contact me at 0556635526 or WhatsApp me at 0508575526 if you need any further guidance or explanation.
