Can bounced cheques cases be resolved at the police station?

I got a call from Jebel Ali police station as I have a bounced cheque there for 60k with FGB and they want me to go there this morning.

I have been told there is a new policy that allows bounced cheques cases to be resolved at the police station. When the police officer called me he assured me that it can be resolved there within the day.

Is that true? What will happen when I go there?

Yes, it is true. If you go there and deposit the amount in favor of the complainer, the police will not take any action against you.

If you don't have the funds you will have to deposit your passport (or another person's passport) and you cannot leave the UAE unless the amount is settled.

With best regards,

I was told so because they have a court at Jebel Ali. It can be settled with a fine and it will be finalized there.

Yes possible. Whether it's a court or a police station, if you go there and deposit the amount in favor of the complainer, the authorities will not take any action against you.

If you don't have the funds you will have to deposit your passport (or another person's passport) and you cannot leave the UAE unless the amount is settled.

With best regards,

Mrs. Khan
