Q: Hi Sir.
My name is K. A. D. P. I have been working in Dubai since 2005. But unfortunately, in 2017 I lost my job and the company closed.
So I didn't know what to do because my family is with me and I have a flat with 2 cheques pending that I can't pay. My personal loan balance is 17000 thousand.
I have no other option I took my family and moved back to Sri Lanka to drop them but the situation stopped me from coming back to Dubai now.
I need to come back but I believe I have these 2 cases against me. Before I come I need to know any fine I have to pay or any other punishment I got.
Please, Sir, do let me know. I need help from the Dubai police.
Kindly help me.
Thanks

How to know if you have a case or travel ban for an old bank debt and when does it drop?
2
Q: Hi Alona,
I had some loans from banks in 2015 which amounted to 400k from 3 banks. Now with the 2022 rule, I checked and there is no criminal case or travel ban against me which is a relief.
I plan to re-enter Dubai but I fear that the banks put again another case against me for these old debts based on the new commercial/civil law. Is the debt finished?
I don't want to get stuck in Dubai for old loans. Kindly advise on my possible course of action going forward.

The management of individual financial affairs is crucial and all the actions must be weighed down while committing to any financial liability. Whether it's job loss that may have lead to financial failure or the opposite, one must be aware of the personal liability which will not diminish by paying fines for cheque bounce cases. There are two major types of liabilities, criminal liability and civil liability. Each has its own significance, hence, must be dealt with accordingly.

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?

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 to remove an absconding case filed by my company that closed without notifying us? 0
I was working with a company and it was closed without giving us any notice or document. I’m still under their visa and it’s gonna expire next month.
So I contacted the ministry of labor to ask for their help and get the cancellation paper because the company closed and all the contact numbers not working.
Then the labor sent me a cancellation paper asking me to take it to immigration and get the cancellation. When I went to the immigration, they said I have an absconding case.
But I’m still on the company visa and they are the one closed everything without informing us.
What can I do to this case and how to remove absconding from my side because I didn’t do anything wrong?
