Q: Hello Mam.
My name is Harbhajan Singh Gurm. Someone bought a mobile phone from Etisalat in 2014 on my identity. I even don't know who is he.
Tasheel sent me msgs regarding my travel ban. I complained to Etisalat, but no result is given to me. I have urgent work in India these days. So what should I do?
Can I go to India after they file a case in the police station?
Please guide me.
Thank you

Legal consequences for non-payment of Etisalat bills
40
Q: I have a flatmate who applied for internet in Etisalat, but when he went on vacation he did not come back. Then our flat owner continued it but the internet account was not transferred to his name.
When I got back from my vacation, there was already a new flat owner. She removed the existing internet in our home because she applied for a new account. That was almost 2 years ago.
Now, I don't know why Etisalat is texting and calling me that I have to pay the amount due and they initiated a legal action and travel ban on me. Tahseel messaged me about this.
Please, can anyone help me on what I can do?

Previous partner's liability for the outstanding bills of Etisalat
0
Q: I was a partner in an LLC company in Dubai from April 2017 to April 2018 with 4 partners having equal shares. In April 2018, when the trade licence was renewed, it was renewed with only 1 partner which was not me (earlier 3 partners were removed).
So the new sole owner who was an existing partner earlier didn't update the Etisalat with the new trade licence. How am I liable for the outstanding bills which are around 13000 Dhs even though my name is not included in the trade licence?

Someone opened a home internet connection on my name and Du is chasing me
2
Q: Hi,
Someone opened a home internet connection in my name using my documents in a place I have never stayed in, in November 2018.
In September 2019, the Du recovery team contacted me to settle the unpaid amount of AED 1499. I went to Du's office and registered a complaint.
The contract they provided is not signed by me, nor the phone number or email address mentioned on the contract is mine. I registered a complaint with TDRA and they provided me with all papers.
With these papers, I registered a case with SPS, and later the case was registered in Bur Dubai police station. I got the case number and sent it to Du. Since then things have not moved forward.
Du recovery keeps calling me.
What should be done?
I do not wish to have any travel ban.

If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? 0
Hi.
One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task."
He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know."
After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station.
They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go.
After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems?
If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country?
Please advise!
