Q: Hi.
I want to know something. Actually, my father took a loan from different banks in Dubai and he couldn't clear all of them. So he came back to the home country.
So my question is how he can be removed from the blacklist? Does he have to pay all the amount? And what if he does not have that much amount?
Please guide me. Thanks

The possibility of lowering the outstanding bank loan upon settlement


2
Q: Hello,
I left the UAE more than a year ago after losing my job and leaving behind a pending amount of AED 400K from a personal loan at a bank (a police case and a ban is already in place), of course.
Now, the ACC is showing a higher amount due to fees. However, I was told that banks might consider settling the matter for lower amounts of the pending.
Therefore, I am wondering if someone has experience in negotiating these bank debts in the UAE, and if that information/possibility is true.
Thank you in advance for your time and support!

How to restructure my outstanding loan with the bank that doubled the debt amount?




2
Q: I requested the bank to restructure the outstanding loan for an extended period, with the remaining amount being AED 150,000.
The bank informed me that the new term would be 48 months, but I later received an agreement for 72 months. Upon noticing the discrepancy, I declined the offer, and as a result of the dispute, the bank filed a criminal case against me.
I paid the fine and resolved the issue with the court. Now, after 7 years, they have initiated a cheque execution case for AED 300,000 with a travel ban.
I have an email from the bank stating that the liability is only after the case has been filed AED 150,000. The signature on the cheque is mine, the rest of the details were filled in by the bank, including the total amount of the monthly dues for 72 months.
How can I proceed in this case?
I intend to request an installment option for the original amount of AED 150,000, without any applicable interest discounts as mentioned on the cheque and the case value.

Facing full settlement demand for unpaid bank loan: Can I contest?




3
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a cheque bounce civil case in Dubai due to an unpaid loan from a bank. This same bank had filed a case two years ago, but the case was removed due to a new rule.
Now, they have filed a new case with a travel ban as well. I am required to pay the entire amount of 100,000 AED in one shot or installments to the bank to settle the case as per the court.
Can I file an objection or contest this judgment? If so, what will be the most likely outcome?

View allCan the landlord request the tenant to pay the chiller in the middle of the contract? 0
I live in Dubai Marina, and the landlord claimed that according to new Dubai Land regulations, the chiller now has to be paid by the person occupying the apartment.
Even though my contract says that the landlord should pay the chiller, they want to implement this mid-contract.
I understand that the terms upon renewal will be renegotiated, but on what grounds can they implement the change mid-contract?
Does a new DLD regulation precede a tenancy contract? Moreover, I am receiving a disconnection notice from the chiller company due to non-payment.
What can I do if this happens?
Please advise.

Cleaner's resignation with 30-day notice in incomplete contract 0
Hello,
Good afternoon!
My friend works as a cleaner for a cleaning company and she now wants to resign with a 30-day notice. However, she has not completed the two-year contract and has only served for 16 months.
Additionally, she has not taken any vacation leave. The sad part is that when she signed the offer letter, she did not receive a copy of it and only signed it.
I would be very grateful if you could let me know if she would have to pay or if her boss has the right to not accept the resignation if the notice period mentioned in the offer letter is more than a month.
Her boss has not provided her with any kind of proof that she can use in the future if anything happens.

The ownership of a code of a web application 0
Hello,
I represent a tech-based marketplace company registered in a Freezone, in the UAE.
This is in regards to the UAE's law regarding the ownership of code when there is no clause mentioned in the agreement. One of our products (web application) is being developed by an agency in the UAE.
While we do have agreements in place, there is no clause regarding ownership of code. In the situation mentioned above, I've heard that the ownership of code either goes to the author or the agency that employed the author. Is this true?
Your assistance and help would be of great help.
