Settling bounced cheques issues with creditors to avoid a lawsuit

Hi.

I had some emergency in the last quarter of 2015, and I had to go out of Dubai. Then I faced some problems and was unable to come to Dubai in time. Some cheques that were issued by me had bounced, and I have some questions.

I issued a cheque of AED 75000 to somebody but managed to pay only AED 50000, and I have the receipt as well. He agreed that I can pay the rest when I come back to Dubai. I have a receipt only on a plain paper, can he make a complaint against me to pay him the full amount of AED 75000?

Three of the cheques I paid against renting two flats, were also bounced. The amount of the first cheque was AED 20000 and the remaining two were AED 12000 each. I contacted one of the real estate agents, and it looks like he currently has the original cheque with him. Does this mean that he did not opt to make a lawsuit?

After paying the dues, do we need to go to the Police station to clear the case and make sure there is nothing against me?

Thank you very much for your reply.

I need to ask you:

Can my active business partner in a limited liability company create any civil or criminal case against me?

Can he claim in the court that he was not able to complete any project for our customers due to my absence and leaving the country?

I read some articles that I can hire a lawyer with Power of Attorney, to check if there is anything against me in the Police station and/or the court. Do you provide such services?

Depends on the terms of your agreement. As such no.

Once again thank you for your kind and quick reply.

May I know your service charges to check the cases in the Police station and the court, and how long it will take to get the result.

Thanks.
