Q: I unintentionally left the UAE in 2016 due a to family emergency with an unpaid credit card and a few loans. Since I have got confirmed by a Dubai based colleague that I have a police case already for bounced cheques cases. How do I go about the settlement from outside the UAE? I have heard of the fines imposed as well as bounced cheque criminal case has been demoted to a minor misdemeanour in Dubai. Involved banks are ADCB (loan of 120k), FGB (credit card - 70k), ENBD (credit card - 20k), HSBC (credit card - 13k) and CITIBANK (loan of 31k). Thank you for your help. Please advise on the action that I can take to settle my issue without going to Dubai, UAE.

Q: Good afternoon I have a case regarding a loan with a bank. They put on me a police case for a bounced cheque. I have already attended a court and paid a penalty. Then I got notification from the court that I am free, but the bank still pushes me for making a minimum payment. The question is if I have already paid a penalty to the court, does the loan still continue?

Q: I have a few questions. Q.1 My friend has a bank loan of AED 60,000 approx from a bank here in the UAE and he did not pay for the last 7or 8 months and the bank is calling for recovery. They have a law firm here which has a branch in Pakistan and this bank also has a branch in Pakistan. If my friend travels to Pakistan due to an emergency now and the bank proceeds with its action, what action(s) will that be? (So far no action from the bank - no case from them) Q.2 If he goes to Pakistan, what will the consequences be for an already running civil case of a bank loan default with another bank, this bank has no branch in Pakistan?
