How to deal with a credit card case after transferring it from the UAE to the UK?
1
Q: Hi,
I am a UK resident. I was previously living in Dubai until 2017. I was deported from Dubai in 2017 on a nonfinancial related case.
When I was deported, there was an outstanding credit card balance on my Emirates Bank which I couldn't pay off and now a UK-based company has filed a case in CCMCC UK courts to recover the amount.
So my questions are:
1. Does the company in the UK require a Dubai court to peruse this case in the UK?
2. How can the UK courts accept a financial settlement case (credit card) without formally confirming if the case is filed in Dubai or the UAE?
3. Can the bank still peruse a case against me if I was deported by the UAE courts as I did not abscond or flee the UAE?

Hi,
We recently bought a villa in Dubai. We are looking for an advocate for legal advice.
Even though the old owner gave the tenant a 90-day notice about the new rent, the tenant is not agreeing to the notice because it didn't come from us.
Since the renewal is in October and we bought the property in September, we don't have 90 days to notify the tenant of the new rent.
The tenant agreed to the new rent in an email with the old owner 90 days ago. Can we dispute this?

We had an accident. Can I claim the treatment costs paid to hospital from the insurance? 0
My family and I had an accident. The incident occurred the very next day of their arrival in the UAE on a residence entry permit and their visa//health insurance was still in process.
With gods grace, everyone was discharged from the hospital on the 3rd day after many tests and keeping us under observation. We were slapped with a hefty bill as my family was not holding any health insurance.
What are the chances that I could claim the medical expenses through the vehicle insurance, as it covers co-passengers as well?

What can I do if a company hired me then changed their mind? 0
I am working in a company and their management is the worst. They made an interview in India and called me.
After calling me here, they again made interviews and made me work for 1 month. And now, they're telling me I am not capable of work and they are mentally torturing me.
I have given them 1.5 lack in office in India and here they are not paying me any salary. I am going into depression as I am not getting any solutions.
The only solution coming to my mind is a suicide, I don’t have any other options left. I have taken money in interest and people are daily coming to my house for money.
Please guide me in a proper way on what I can do.
