Can the bank file a civil case and put a travel ban if I defaulted on payments?

I had defaulted on cheques with some banks in the UAE, and now they are saying that they will go for a civil case.

If they go for a civil case, what are the consequences?

Is there any travel ban or any issues in renewing the visa?

Yes, since the cheque bounce is not a criminal offense anymore except for a few exceptions, the banks still have an option of filing a civil case.

And they can put a travel ban which will create issues in renewing the visa.

So, you should negotiate with the bank and close it asap.

Hello,

In case the bank files a civil case against you, this will not be punishable by jail but following the execution, there is a possibility for a travel ban to be imposed against you and this will be a problem for your visa as well.

For more details, you can call me.

Thank you.
