Recovering the amount of a bounced cheque from the issuer
Someone gave me two cheques for AED 80000 and disappeared with my cash.
I have found that his bank account closed but also he is on run under some fraud investigation in the UAE and in Oman at the moment.
Could you please advise me how to recover my funds from him?
Dear Sir,
I hope you are doing well.
Further to your query, kindly be advised that you can institute a criminal case and a civil case against the person concerned.
By instituting a criminal case, you can prohibit a person from travelling out of the UAE and can pressure him to pay.
If a person has already travelled outside the UAE, you can claim your entitlements only if you have a valid address of the person or you can attach his available assets in the UAE.
In order to briefly explain to you, kindly provide us with the initial details:
1. Are you having any agreement which stipulates the reason for your payment and the amount paid, bearing signatures of both parties?
2. Any email communication or any other communication to this effect.
For confidentiality, you can send us the details at info@awsuwaidi-advocates.com or you can call us at 045547635 for meeting us in order to discuss the matter in detail.
We wait for your response.
Regards,
Aws M. Younis
