اتخاذ الإجراءات ضد البنك لتجميد مستحقات نهاية الخدمة بدون موافقة

صباح الخير.

أعمل لدى وزارة التربية والتعليم. لقد غيرت الإمارة ودفعوا لي مستحقات نهاية الخدمة.

لا يزال راتبي كما هو وما زلت أعمل لدى وزارة التربية والتعليم. قام البنك الذي أتعامل معه بتجميد مستحقات نهاية الخدمة الخاصة بي واستخدمها لاحقًا لسداد مدفوعات القرض وبطاقة الائتمان.

وكان السبب وراء ذلك من وجهة نظرهم هو أن نسبة الدين المستحق علي كانت مرتفعة للغاية. لم أمنحهم الإذن للقيام بذلك لكنهم فعلوا ذلك على أي حال. لم أتأخر أبدًا في الدفع لهم وأنا عميل لديهم منذ عام 2016.

سؤالي هو؛ هل يحق للبنك فعل ذلك من الناحية القانونية؟

هل يجب علي رفع قضية ضدهم؟

أيضًا، كيف يمكنني منع البنك من الحصول على راتبي لسداد ديونهم، إذا تمكنوا من التحفظ على مستحقات نهاية الخدمة الخاصة بي، على الرغم من أنني ما زلت أعمل لدى نفس الشركة؛ وأحصل على نفس الراتب الذي يتم إيداعه في البنك؟

يرجى تقديم المشورة.

You would have agreed to set off your outstanding amounts in the terms and conditions that you signed when you opened the account with the bank.

However, the bank has no right to set off unless you have defaulted on your payments.

You can send them a legal notice stating that you will file a case against them for claiming the amount back along with damages to include all the expenses you have incurred due to their actions.

I did not default at all. I have not even been late with them.

They stated that because my debt ratio with all debts including other banks is over 50%, they have the right to take my EOSB and apply it to the loans and credit card with the bank in order to bring my debt ratio down.

Now, how to stop them from taking my entire salary to lower my debts with them?

Again, I have NEVER been late with them and they didn't even work with me in terms of agreeing to give them half of the EOSB to be used to pay down the debt and I keep the other half.

They took the entire amount. I filed two complaints with the UAE Central Bank regarding this.

My question is how do I go about filing a legal claim against them?

Do I have a winnable case?

How much would it cost to file this legal claim?

Please advise!

You have a good case. A complaint with the Central Bank will not cost you anything and that should be sufficient to get the job done.

If it doesn't work then you will have to file a case in court which will cost court fees (6% of the claim amount in AUH and 5% in DXB) + translation costs + lawyer's fees from AED 8000 - 15000 + expert fees (AED 3000).

My suggestion would be to call the bank and threaten them that you are going to Central Bank and then the court.

The second time, send them an email. Third time, file a Central Bank complaint in writing, then a legal notice threatening to go to court (AED 500) and fourth time, file the case in court.
