Bounced cheque case for defaulting on loan payments
3
Q: Hi.
I have a case filed against me by the bank last month end for failing to pay 2 EMIs.
I have been unemployed since April 2017 and have managed to pay my EMIs from the settlement I received from my previous company and some other EMIs by borrowing money from friends and families.
I have not been able to find suitable employment during this time and I have AED 52,000 to pay the bank (the original amount being AED 254,000).
The cheque bounced by the bank is for an amount of AED 77,100.00. My overdue EMI is AED 9,800, while my outstanding is AED 52,000. The 4-year loan will finish tenure by July 2019.
Before the case was registered by the bank, I had emailed them (also spoke with their rep) to give me a loan deferment, however, they chose not to respond.
Please advise on the next possible actions. I still have not received any calls from any legal authorities. Will I have to face jail term or deportation?

Filing a case and appointing expert in a bank loan dispute
2
Q: Dear Mr Ibrahim,
I have a dispute with my mortgage bank.
They have been overcharging me, I am sure of it. It is Islamic finance and after 11 years of paying a total of AED 1.2M, my principal has only reduced by 100,000 dirhams.
I have asked them for all my statements and calculations but they do not respond. I am applying for Canadian PR. I am concerned they will bounce my security cheque to put pressure on me and then I will not get PCC.
Can we approach the court to let them know this is a dispute and remove the bounced cheque from records as I wish to settle with the bank but they do not respond?
Thanks

Hello,
We are a building materials trading company based in the UAE. We supplied materials worth AED 50,000 to a customer around 8 months ago, but despite repeated follow-ups and reminders, no payment has been made to date.
We would appreciate guidance on the following:

2. What documents should we have ready (e.g., delivery notes, invoice, emails)?
3. How long does the legal process typically take in the UAE for such cases?
4. Is there a recommended timeline or deadline after which legal steps should be initiated?
Thank you in advance for your advice!

إرسال المطور إيميل لتسليم الوحدة بعد رفع المستثمر دعوى ضده لفسخ العقد بسبب التأخير 2
السلام عليكم،
لدي دعوى عقارية وقد تأخَّر المطور في إنجاز المشروع. أخطرت المطور بإشعار إنهاء عقد موثّق من الكاتب العدل وبإعلان بالنشر.
بعدها سجلت قضية لفسخ العقد واسترجاع المبلغ المدفوع لشراء الوحدة، وفي أثناء نظر الدعوى، أرسل المطور إيميل لي بإخطاري بسداد المبلغ المتبقي وباستلام الوحدة.
هل هناك قانون يجيز أن تعتبر الوحدة قد سُلِّمت لي بموجب البريد الإلكتروني من المطور أثناء نظر القضية ولم يصدر فيها حكم بعد؟

السلام عليكم،
اشتريت أرض منحة وقال البائع وقت البيع أنها أرض قديمة ومحذوفة من قائمة المنح، لكن لا يستطيع تعديل الأرض من منحة إلى ملك إلا بعد البناء عليها وقبلت بهذا الشرط وبنيت عليها.
عند الانتهاء من البناء لم يستطع البائع التنازل عن الأرض بسبب منع البيع أو التصرُّف في أرض المنحة وأنا أكمله منذ 18 شهرًا ولم أحصل على تنازل ولم أستطع إدخال كهرباء أو الاستفادة من البيت بأي شكل من الأشكال، وسبب التعطيل من البائع.
كيف أتصرف؟

How to claim back rental cheques and security deposit after early exit from tenancy? 2
Salam,
I have terminated my tenancy contract early on.
On the 4th month, I notified the landlord through his agent that I got released from duty and need to terminate the contract. I gave 2 months' notice (via email). I received verbal confirmation that I can vacate.
I received Clearance Certificate and handed the place over on time and in good condition. The only thing, I didn't pull out the balance cheques from the landlord.
1. The landlord didn't return the security deposit.
2. To my surprise, the landlord cashed the 3rd cheque.
3. The landlord still has the 4th cheque.
Being new in the UAE, what am I supposed to do?
How can I collect my money and stop the 4th cheque from being cashed out?
