Inability to pay credit card installments upon retirement

Dear team,

It is appreciated if you could help on the matter below.

I am an ex-pat. I have been working in Abu Dhabi for the last 10 years. I have been using credit cards since then. Last year in September 2018, I retired from my employment as I reached 60 years of age.

I had some outstanding credit card payments which I have been paying from my savings till the last year, however, now I am in financial difficulties and I am not able to pay the amount of the installments.

So in these cases will the banks restructure my loan and pause my payments for the time being till I can get a new job or else will I be sent to prison if being defaulted?

Many thanks!

Hello,

We recommend starting negotiations with the bank in respect of your payments.

You may request to reconsider interest rates and agree on some installment plan.

Non-payment can lead to negative legal consequences.
