Settlement of a bank loan by paying the fine

Q: Hello, I would like to inquire about the fine for not paying my outstanding personal loan. My outstanding loan amount is AED 95,000 and I don't have money to repay this loan. I came to know that there is no jail term if we do not pay the loan. I read somewhere that you just have to pay the fine which the bank will impose on you and that's it. I would like to settle this matter with the bank by paying the fine. Can you please advise how much fine roughly I have to pay to settle my loan. My bank is E.I. Thank you in advance!

My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and bounced cheque. How to follow up?

Hello. My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and a bounced cheque. The client's company is registered as a virtual office in the Creative City Free Zone in Fujairah, so our case is filed there. The client basically purchased some equipment from us, and his payment via bank transfer did not go through and was rejected. Then, when we deposited his security cheque after multiple attempts to contact and no answer, the cheque bounced. The company is under his wife's name, and we have filed a case on the same. The court has accepted our application, however, they have instructed the execution bureau to get the Emirates ID of this authorised signatory. The bureau is asking us to get it, and we have no way to do so, unfortunately. Without the Emirates ID, the court cannot freeze the bank accounts or put a travel ban, etc. What are our options here?
