Q: Hi Nikhat, I hope you are well and don't mind messaging you. I saw your post about a police good conduct certificate. If I apply for one of these from outside the UAE, will it say if I have any open cases against me? I believe they are closed and would like to re-enter the UAE. Many thanks in advance for your advice. Kind regards

Q: I lost my job and could not pay the EMI's since Jan 2017 till now against a personal loan of AED 316,000. The bank bounced my cheque in March 2017 and I was fined Dhs 15,000 by the public prosecutor. Do I have a travel ban or not by the bank? The bank is calling me every day for paying the loan even after the police case. I am still jobless.

Q: Hi madam, If a lot of cheques equal to AED 300,000 have been bounced and cases are filed and a travel ban imposed, what will be the punishments or consequences to be faced if caught? I can't afford to pay back even 1,000 Dhs. Will I have to pay the full amount? Please advise. Thanks

Q: Hi Sir, My credit card cheque was bounced and I got in jail and paid the fine after the public prosecution hearing, but they did not give me a clearance. They just let me out in the jail. I would like to ask if I have a travel ban. The bank keeps sending me and for the 8th time that my cheque was bounced again. Is it also possible that they can repeatedly bounce my cheque? They also threatened me that they will file a civil case a week after the other case was finished.

Q: Dear All, I'm facing a case since 2013 but charges of breach of trust were dropped. However, I suffer to obtain a police certificate from Dubai police. I applied 4 times but still got rejected. Even though charges were dropped in 2018 but the same case still appears on Dubai police online portal. Is this the reason the Dubai police have rejected my application for PCC? I even have the file of the dropped case. What can I do in this case?
