How to resolve case for credit card default in the UAE?

I have a credit card outstanding of 69k (including interest and other charges) and was not able to pay since I lost my job. They filed a case in Dubai.

How to handle this? Can they file the same case in other emirates also?

Please let me your charges also for consulting.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for reaching out to me on this.

I am assuming the bank has bounced your security cheque and filed a police case in Dubai. Since they filed the case in Dubai, they cannot file case in other Emirate.

Considering that there is a case, you currently have a travel ban and a pending arrest warrant to answer the case. Since the amount is small, you will face penalty by the way of a fine from the criminal court.

You can appoint a legal representative to handle the case smoothly as it involves technicalities and sometimes people face detention if case is not handled properly.

I can assist you in clearing the case if you wish. You can reach out to me on email or phone.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana

Dear Sir,

According to your message, it's not clear whether you are talking about a criminal case or civil case as the bank has a right to file a criminal case or civil case in case of defaulting on the payment.

Kindly contact us on the phone for detailed discussion and further assistance on this case.
