Q: Hi
I had unpaid liability towards a car rental company based in Dubai. There was no cheque with them as they took a deposit from the cc.
The company filed a case in Feb 2019. I got to know about it when I checked online on the system; it also mentioned the station in which it has been registered.
But from a couple of months, it is not showing online. Please let me know what might be the reason and how to proceed further to get it cleared.
Thanks.

How to get back my deposit for rented cars after returning them in good condition?



0
Q: Hi,
In August I was in Dubai. I rented a few supercars and paid a deposit of 1500 euros. By the rental agreement, the owner was obligated to pay back my deposit within one but he never did so.
I have contacted him several times, but he just ignored me. I told him I will contact a lawyer for help and that he has to pay all expenses if he will be sued.
He answered then at once and told me I got a fine for speeding so I asked him to provide it but he never did it. I contacted him several times after that but he never answered.
Is it possible to teach a lesson to this terribly acting man who represents Emirates in such a bad way and get back my money?

A car rental company takes the deposit. What to do?

2
Q: Hi,
Last year (07.2022) I visited Dubai and rented 5 supercars from a local rental company. I left 1500 euro (6000 UED) deposit for the cars which I never got back.
The company manager claimed that I got more speeding tickets than my deposit and that I am owing him money, not he to me.
I knew 99% I wasn't speeding but to be sure, I checked all the registration plates of the cars I rented and I found out there were no speeding tickets on those cars even that month I rented them.
I have sent all the copies to the rental company and explained that if they will not refund my money, I will take legal action. Later on Google reviews, I saw that there are more scammed people by the same company.
They take a deposit, and later they blame them for speeding and this gives them a reason not to refund money. The amounts are not huge (6000) UED but this man must be stopped somehow.
He is doing shame for all Emirates. Maybe there is a lawyer who can help me to send legal notice?
My budget for this is (1000 AED).

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I rented a car online for 3 months, and I paid the security deposit. After the 3 months, the car was collected without any issues.
However, I have been unsuccessful in obtaining my deposit since then. The address on the delivery papers is incorrect, and they are not answering calls.
What should I do?

Can a verbal abuse case be filed after a heated argument over a car rental deposit refund?




1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I was scammed by a car rental company that has not refunded my deposit for the past month. I believe they are fraudulents.
Today, out of frustration, we had a heated argument on the phone, followed by verbal abuse during the next call. He claimed to have recorded it and said he would file a case.
I want to know what the chances of a case are in this situation and what I should do. They are scammers for sure, but I’m concerned because he said he recorded the call and will raise a verbal abuse complaint.

If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? 0
Hi.
One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task."
He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know."
After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station.
They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go.
After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems?
If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country?
Please advise!
