Regarding investment in a UK-based crowdfunding platform from the UAE I am a UAE (Dubai) resident. Is it legal to invest in a startup that is based in Cayman Island and London through UK based crowdfunding platform (crowdcube.com) from the UAE? Looking for precious advice. Thank you!

3 years back I had given a post-dated cheque as a guarantee to a person whom I had to pay the money. In 3 years time before the due date of the post-dated cheque, I had paid him partially by cash and cheque for which I have his signed vouchers and the PDC cheque details. He was supposed to return back my PDC on the due date and collect the balance amount that was around AED 4000. The cheque value was AED 115,000. On the due date, he demanded more money from me and when I refused, he bounced the cheque and filed a cheque bounce case. He said I gave him a cheque of a closed bank account when he asked the money back and claimed the full amount. I was arrested and had to pay the fine for the cheque bounce case. With the agreement I have with me and the payment voucher proof, can I sue him back for the false accusation? And can I claim compensation for spoiling my name and image?

Salam, I was working in Dubai and I needed a 50k loan from the company. My boss told me to do him a favour and take a 700000 loan from the bank then take 50k. I said how. He planned everything and deposited 30k salary on my account and verify from HR and accounts. The bank agent gave me the loan he paid instalments almost for one year and then he terminated me and said don't worry we will pay your loan. After I came back to Pakistan, they are paying but after 3-4 months like that, the recovery company calls me in Pakistan daily. what can I do? If I come to Dubai and make a case on my boss, will the bank help me or I have to hire lawyer?

Dear Sir, I hope you are doing well. My neighbour brother went earlier to Dubai for packing work in a hotel for 2 months. Due to the condition of work & not getting a proper salary, he decided to resign from his job. When he intimated the same to the employer they said he should pay AED 4500 before leaving & his own ticket. He is from a very poor background that's why he came for AED 900 salary. But he gets actually 750 only without food. Need your kind support to help him to come back to India.

I've taken a loan of AED 65000 in 2005 and left Dubai in the same year after the job was lost. When I approached the bank, they insisted for one-time payment which I could not afford from India. Now, I got an offer from Oman. Can I travel to Oman with this outstanding loan in Dubai? Will I be caught in Oman? I want to find out if I am blacklisted or a police case pending against me. Kindly suggest.
