16
Q: Good day!
I'm a resident of the UAE now. I had an unpaid bank loan in Saudi Arabia way back in 2014.
Now, Bilkish agency, a debt collection agency, keeps on calling me to pay my debt in just a few days. I can't afford to pay immediately because I'm not earning too much.
An agent said she will make sure the bank will block me here in the UAE.
Does the collection agency have the right to block me in immigration or put me into travel ban here in the UAE?
Thank you so much for your reply.

Will I be arrested in GCC countries for my UAE credit card debt?
50
Q: Greetings,
I was terminated by my company in May 2016 because they were cutting the number of staff. I had a credit card with 10,000AED that I used fully. I was unable to reach the bank and so far I have never received any call or email from them.
I was struggling with unemployment all this time and couldn’t pay my debt, I have no intentions to not pay because it’s Haram/prohibited in my religion. Recently, I got a job offer in another GCC country and I want to go there and pay my debt using my salary.
My question is, will I be arrested in that GCC country at the airport?
I don’t know if a police case has been filed against me or not, what I know is I am morally obligated to pay my debt and the only way I can do it is if I start that new job, my family is poor and my country has no job opportunities.
I’m afraid to be detained and sent to the UAE, this will not solve the issue, nobody will be able to pay for me and jail won’t solve the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards.

Enforcement of a foreign court judgement in the UAE

Q: Hi,
We are UAE FZ Company. A US (Californian) Supplier is threatening to take us to court (in California), over an unpaid invoice, for year 3 of a 3-year service contract.
The UAE end user only used the system for a few months & only paid us for 2 years. We informally cancelled, verbally, the 3rd year.
My question is: if they manage to achieve a judgement against us in the USA, is it enforceable in the UAE?

التظلم من تنفيذ قرار إبعاد قضائي صادر عن دولة قطر في الإمارات
4
س: السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته
في عام ٢٠١٦ تم الحكم علي فى دولة قطر فى قضية إقامة علاقة غير شرعية بالتراضي سنة مع إيقاف التنفيذ والإبعاد، وبالفعل تم تنفيذ الإبعاد.
سافرت إلى الامارات وأعمل هناك منذ حوالي ٦ سنوات. الآن أوقفوني بمطار دبي وتمت المطالبة بإبعادي بناءً على حكم صادر من دولة قطر.
ماهو الاجراء القانوني؟
وهل يسقط حكم الإبعاد بالتقادم فى دولة أخرى، علماً بأن دولة الإمارات ليست طرفاً فى المشكلة؟
وأنا أعمل بالإمارات بدون أي مشاكل وسافرت أكثر من مرة من وإلى الإمارات دون مشكلة. فما السبب الآن وماهو التصرف القانوني؟

إمكانية توقيف مسافر في مطار دبي لوجود قرض في قطر
1
س: السلام عليكم،
تحياتي!
كنت مقيمًا في دولة قطر حتى سنه ٢٠١٧ وغادرت في إجازة أرغمتني ظروف خاصة على تمديدها ثم التقدُّم باستقالة من البلد الذي أعيش فيه وهو بلد أجنبي أحمل جنسيته.
في أثناء وجودي في قطر، اشتريت سيارة و استأجرت سكن وذلك طبعًا عن طريق شيكات مؤجَّلة وكنت أسدد قرض مالي، وكنت ملتزم بالدفع حتى غادرت البلد ولا أعرف مصير هذه الشيكات، وهل أنا مُطالَب بشيء أو مُترقَّب عودتي سواء في قطر أو أي دولة خليجية.
الآن بعد خمس سنوات سأتوقف في مطار دبي ترانزيت في طريقي لبلدي الأصلي وأخشى من التعرض لأي مساءَلة من السلطات في المطار.
هل يمكن للسلطات في دبي توقيفي إذا حُرِّكت دعوى بسبب تلك الشيكات في قطر؟
شكرًا لكم!

My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?
(b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not?
Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
