Harassment by a telecommunication company to collect the unpaid due bill
2
Q: Can a telecommunication company come to my HR to collect the unpaid due bill?
They called me and said that they will do so. I mentioned over the phone that they communicate to me via email and I will respond there.
They are checking my personal information. I have a recording of the conversation. Are they legally allowed to harass me like that?
Thank you!

Unexpected high bill due to unauthorized SIM plan usage. What to do?

1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I need your help regarding my SIM Plan. When I signed up for the plan, I specifically requested to use my own number since it's with the same network. The agent agreed, and I provided my ID and signed the documents.
He informed me that I had to activate it before I could use it. However, when I attempted to activate it, it did not proceed, and I assumed that I didn't have a plan.
I did not contact the agent because I thought that since it was not activated, I would not be charged for anything.
After a few months had passed, I began to receive bills, and someone was paying for the plan. I then inquired as to why I had a plan when it wasn't activated. That's when I discovered that another person was using the plan under my name, and I had to pay to cancel it.
I don't know who that person is, but the agent informed me that I had to pay for it because it was under my name.
The amount reached over a thousand because the person did not pay.
Could you please assist me with this situation?
I am really confused and don't know what to do.

I believe that there is a similarity between medicine and law, and just as there is a way to ask a question to a doctor to get the most accurate and correct answers from him, which ultimately helps you receive the correct diagnosis, and therefore the correct treatment, there is a way to ask a lawyer.

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

Who is responsible for managing this process?
At the time of the exchange, the broker said he would follow up with the seller and collect the deposit.

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
