س: سلام عليكم. غادرت الإمارات فجأة بسبب ظروف طارئة في عام ٢٠١٩ وكان علي مستحقات لم تدفع في بطاقة ائتمان بقيمة ١٠,٠٠٠ درهم وقرض بقيمة ٤٥٠,٠٠٠ ألف درهم. أكد صديق موثوق لي بأن لديّ قضية في نيابة أبو ظبي بالفعل وهناك غرامة بقيمة ١٠٠٠ درهم يمكن تسديدها عبر الإنترنت بسبب بطاقة ائتمان، ولا يوجد أي قضية أو بلاغ بشأن القرض! ولكن هناك شركة تحصيل من خارج الإمارات تتواصل معي دائماً بشان القرض. لماذا لم يرفع البنك بلاغاً ضدي في الإمارات بشان القرض؟ هل يمكنني السفر إلى الإمارات للتسوية من داخل الإمارات، وما هي المخاطر؟ شكرًا لك على مساعدتك. يرجى تقديم المشورة بشأن الإجراءات التي يمكنني اتخاذها لتسوية مشكلتي.
