Can I be caught in GCC countries for my UAE bank debts?
I have a loan with UAE bank: 1 credit card outstanding value is 22,000 AED & one personal loan around 85,000 AED. I lost my job on Jun 2016. From there I unable to pay my EMI (6 months). Bank is not agreeing for settlement plan as per my request. Now they are saying they are going to file a case.
Now my doubt, if I get a job in GCC other than UAE, will police catch me in the airport in any GCC? OR arrest is possible only if they file a case in that particular country?
Please, advise.
The police will act in a particular country where the debt was incurred and a case filed. An arrest will only take place if a case is filed with the police. I am not aware that this would extend to all GCC countries unless the offence that has been committed is a serious crime.
The banks nevertheless are able to appoint debt collectors to trace defaulters abroad and depending on the seriousness of the issue, the involvement of Interpol.
