View allFalse promises and hidden defects: Can you sue Dubai's top used car dealer? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
I purchased a car from Dubai's largest second-hand dealership with full faith in their claim, on their website, that all cars on sale are thoroughly inspected and free from any material defects.
Eleven months later, I decided to sell the car privately and received a matching offer.
However, I was unable to sell it despite passing the RTA test because I discovered that the car had undergone chassis repair, with evidence that such repairs took place before the car was sold to me.
The dealership must have been fully aware of these defects when they completed the RTA registration on my behalf.
I had no doubt that the car was defective as its VIN number did not return any history of accidents. I feel extremely disappointed and let down because the car is now worth 50k less.
Could you please advise me on my legal options?
Am I in a position to sue them for compensation?

Are individuals allowed to lend money on interest? 0
Dear sir/madam,
A friend gave me a personal loan for which I gave a security cheque. After reconciling accounts, I was supposed to get the security cheque back.
Instead, he wanted interest, and when I refused, he put a date on my security cheque and deposited the same without my knowledge.
What is the best course of action?

How long does it take to sort my labor dues in the execution process? 0
Hello,
I won the case in April 2022 (AED 18k), I initiated the execution in May 2022, and in June 2022 the court sent letters to the Central Bank, MoHRE, DED, and Dubai Insurance co. to take action against the company.
I am checking the status on the Dubai Court website with my login but there is no reply from any official department on the notices sent by the court.
The company is operating without any problem.
1) What options do I have to get my amount?
2) How much time do the official departments have to impose the bans on the employer?
3) Do I just keep checking for updates on the Dubai Court website with my login?
Thank you for your help in advance.

How to let my employer cancel my visa at the immigration and take another offer? 0
Dear Sir/ Mam
Pleased be informed you that after 30 days of my resignation letter, the company canceled my visa in labor but they are not canceling my visa in immigration and did not give me my passport back.
I got a job in another company. What should I do?
I called my employer and messaged him to cancel my visa in immigration but they are not responding to me. They just saw my messages and ignored me.
I go once a day to my company to talk about visa cancellation because they are not replying to my messages.
I told them to cancel my visa in immigration because they already canceled my visa in labor on 11/06/2022. They did not respond seriously to my matter.
So kindly guide me on what I should do. I shall be very thankful to you.
Best Regards
M. A.

How can I get back to the UAE after I lost job and got overdue payments? 0
I’m an Indian from Kerala. Due to the job loss and after getting in to fake company job, I’m forced to quit the UAE.
After that, my dues prolonged and I was not in a position to get back to the UAE without clearing my dues.
For the past 5 years I was totally collapsing and no good movement in my life and career. I want to come back for employment visa as I got an offer also.
Before entering the UAE, my police case has to be revoked which is in Albarsha police station and don’t have enough money for paying dues also.
My credit card outstanding is AED 17800 with a bank. Request your guidance and advice to settle my dues with small amount and revoke my police case before my visa gets stamped.
Thanks
S.
