Travel ban and arrest warrant check after closing a loan

6
Q: Hello,
Can someone tell me what a travel ban is connected to? Is it your passport number?
I understand I have an open case in Dubai for a loan (that's actually paid now) and I'm now outside the UAE, so have no Emirates ID card or number.
If I attempted to get back in the country whilst that case is still open, would I be pulled up on my passport number?
What if the passport number they have on record is expired and you have a new number, can that case still be connected to you?
If I knew it was safe I would be happy to return and go to the police station myself to close it. I have the details from the bank.

Clearing a case raised by the bank after paying the dues
0
Q: Hi Mr Muhyealdeen,
I was hoping you could answer a quick question for me.
If I have an open legal case against me raised by a bank for unpaid liability, then the liability is paid off, are they obliged to close that legal case and/or issue a NOC?
The reason I ask is that my bank won't close it as I have another outstanding liability and in negotiations to settle, they can only open a civil case for that one, not a legal one.
So my question is, are they legally allowed to keep a case open for a liability that's been paid off? Can they be forced to close it?
Thanks

Filing a civil case against the debtor after payment of loan
1
Q: A civil case and a travel ban were filed against me by a loan shark. I already paid the capital amount of AED 8,000 plus another AED 8,720 interest (For a total of AED 16,720.00).
But he deposited my cheque and bounced for AED 17,000 as he is still claiming for additional interest caused by the delay of payments I made. I have all the receipts kept with me as proofs that I made the payment deposits to his bank account.
Please advise how to proceed with this civil case and lift the travel ban. There is no hearing scheduled and no warrant of arrest yet.
Thank you.

What to do if the bank refuses to issue a clearance letter after paying all the dues?


3
Q: I have cleared my loan with a bank and was issued a no-liability letter to that effect. I took the letter to my HR to complete the salary transfer letter to my new bank.
However, the liability letter was rejected by HR because it did not have my current account number on it.
After going back to the bank I was told that I would have to close my credit card to have the bank account number appear on the letter.
I have now closed my credit card, however, the bank has now informed me that they cannot reissue the liability letter for that account.
I am now at the point where payroll amendments close next week, with no liability letter and an HR standing firm.
This means default on my first payment with the new bank and no pay.
What are my options?

I left Dubai with a pending loan and I cleared the entire amount now. Can I come back?

0
Q: Hi,
I had a loan from a bank and I came back from Dubai in 2015.
Now in 2023, I have cleared the entire amount taken from the bank and have a payment receipt as well.
There is no case filed according to my knowledge as I was only getting collection calls all this while.
Now, I want to travel to Dubai on a visit. Do I need to have any clearance from the bank or immigration?

How to clear a report for lost passport in the police system after finding it?

5
Q: Hello
I lost my passport during shifting and I reported a lost certificate. Then after 5 to 6 days, I found my passport.
After a few days, I was going to my country and immigration stopped me. They said first you have to clear your case.
So then, I cleared my case from the police station and they said you are clear now. But in my Dubai police app, it's still pending.
Can I travel now?

How to remove the travel ban after settling a credit card case with the bank?




2
Q: Hello Everyone,
I’m new to this community and seeking support. In 2020, I had a 10K credit card from a bank. Due to COVID-19, I was unable to make the payment on time, resulting in the bank filing a criminal case against me in Nov 2020.
I have recently managed to arrange the funds and settle the amount. I have received clearance and case release letters from the bank, confirming that the case has been released by Dubai police.
However, despite this, I still find the case active on the Dubai police app.
As I am no longer in the country and plan to travel soon, I am concerned about any potential issues with obtaining a visa. I have attempted to contact Dubai police multiple times via email, but have not received a response.
Please advise on any potential visa issues and any alternative steps I can take to resolve this matter.
Thank you.

يلعب الشيك دوراً مهماً في الحياة اليومية سواء في ميدان المعاملات التجارية أو في ميدان المعلامات المدنية باعتباره أداة وفاء والتزام تحل محل النقود في التعامل بين الافراد. ونظراً لهذه الأهمية فقد أصبح أكثر الأوراق التجارية انتشاراً وتداولاً بين الناس، على الرغم من حداثته نوعاً ما. فالشيك لم يبق كما كان في بداية عهده أداة لسحب الودائع المصرفية لحساب الساحب ذاته، بل أصبح أداة وفاء تحل محل النقود سواء على النطاق الداخلي بالنسبة للمعاملات التي يقوم بها الأفراد داخل الدولة فحسب وزادت أهميته.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
