Claiming cheques amount from abroad after being cheated by a partner
sir,
I am residing in Kuwait. One of my wife's friends cheated me with a cheque of RAK Bank, Sharjah of a sum of 120,000 Dirhams which he owed me in 2018. He was running a general trading company.
There is also another cheque of commercial bank of Dubai with a sum of 150,000 dirhams.
He closed down the company by the end of 2016. When I ask him regarding the money, he tells me that he doesn't have the money now and whenever he has, he will give me. Both cheques are without specified dates.
As I am staying in Kuwait, I don't have an account in Dubai. I did not present these cheques to banks as I don't have an account and also if I present them, I won't be having any evidence if the banks keep them.
Which way can I proceed as this guy cheated me?
Kindly advise!
Thanks!

Dear questioner,
The best option to deal with this situation is to open a civil case for the recovery of your hard-earned money.
If need be, kindly contact us via phone for a detailed discussion or write us an email for further assistance.
Dear questioner,
If you received both cheques in 2018 without a specified date as you mentioned, you still have the chance to chase the creditor before the criminal courts and ban his name over all the UAE borders. He will be punished with a big amount of penalty fine as it can reach to AED 20,000.
Moreover, we will be able to ban his name before the civil court too as a lifetime ban until he pays the full amount plus interest to you.
We will be able to seize, impound and sell any assets or properties registered under his name or his company name in order to settle the total amount he owns you which is AED 270,000.
Finally, we can assist you to proceed with the criminal and the civil cases against him without your attendance as well.
