Checking any case and travel ban possibility

1
Q: Hi,
I was married in Dubai in June 2015 and divorced in October 2016. My then wife was in another relationship. When I found out in Feb 2016, I filed for divorce in Scotland.
Scots law dictates a separation of 1 year before the divorce is granted. As such, I travelled to Dubai in March 2016 to reclaim my belongings and finalize the decision.
In Oct 2016, I received the confirmation of divorce from my then wife along with a statement from the court compelling me to pay AED 100,000.00 as compensation.
I took the divorce as final but didn't pay the bill. As such, I would like to know, is there any open case against me in the UAE preventing my travel?

Liability for the unpaid loan 31
I was jailed for 4 months for not being able to pay a loan from a Dubai bank since I've lost my job in 2011.
After my release, I tried looking for a job but was unsuccessful, so I went back to my home country when my visa expired but still the bank is sending emails and threatening me and wants to collect money from me.
Now that I am back here in Dubai, they threatened to file a ban against me and told me that I cannot get my visa renewed if I will not pay them.
Can the bank do such THING? I already have accepted the punishment of serving jail time since during that time I didn't have a JOB and was totally broke. What can I do so that they will stop harassing me?
What does the law say if someone had served the sentence for a bouncing check case?
Thanks and hoping to be enlightened.
