Settlement for credit card overdue to avoid legal action
7
Q: I have a Najm credit card, I used to do a minimum payment every month. I am working for a company for the past 2 years. I am not getting salary on time I used to get salary after every 2 or 3 months.
I did them a minimum payment but late by arranging for one or another. I came to know that there is a final settlement for the credit card where you can pay a fixed amount every month.
I requested them for the past 6 months but they didn't help me. Also, I came to know that they have put my salary of 11500 but I am getting a salary of 5000/-.
Every month they are torturing me, for that can you help me with this. They also say they will deposit my security cheque and file a police complaint.
This time when I went to meet one of the people for Najm card, I told him about my situation but they are not ready to listen.
He gave me two options, either to pay 18500/- in one stroke or 20500/- in 2 instalments

Can a bank threaten to file a police case for non-payment of a loan?

1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I failed to pay a credit card loan to a bank. They are threatening to file a police case against me. They keep calling my manager at my company.
Can you tell me what will happen if they do file a case against me?
I received a statement from the bank with CID on it.
Does this mean I have a case now? And does it mean I can't travel?
Please advise!

Bank filed a civil case over a loan: Better to settle with the bank or in court? 0
Good day, Sir,
I have received a message from the Dubai Court stating that a bank has filed a civil case against me. The loan has been pending since February 2019.
I cleared the cheque bounce case earlier with a court fine in 2019. I am looking forward to a minimum settlement plan with the bank. The outstanding amount was around 70,000 AED, and now the message is for 115,000 AED.
What will be the best way for me to proceed: approaching the bank or dealing with it in court?
Best regards,

Hello,
I have given my notice, and my last day is July 24, but the employer is refusing to pay my salary; even the salary for June. Is this even legal?
He claims I'll get everything at once, which is after leaving the country or changing status.
