5
Q: I lent AED 4000 to a colleague of mine. He didn't return them. I also have information that he borrowed from other people but didn't return as well.
As proof, I have voice messages of him saying how much money he owes me and I have his passport and Emirates ID.
What is the procedure I should take and how much money will it cost?
Thank you very much.

How to claim back money lent to a friend with WhatsApp as the only proof? 

1
Q: My friend had borrowed AED 100k money from me, however, I don't have any proof as he didn't sign any documents and it was based on trust.
I have a Whatsapp message where he said he will return the money but the amount of the borrowed money was not written by him.
Will it be enough proof to go legal?
Please suggest and also what are the next steps?

إسقاط عقوبة شيكات من صحيفة الحالة الجنائية 0
مرحبًا،
لدي استفسار حول صحيفة الحالة الجنائية حيث كانت لدي قضايا شيكات قديمة قبل القانون الجديد.
كما تعلمون سابقًا، كانت تفتح بلاغات بالشيكات، وبسبب ترصد كمية بلاغات شيكات، أصبحت صحيفة الحالة الجنائية كلها شيكات ارتجاع أقساط بنك، وكل شيك كان مفتوح به بلاغ منفصل عن الآخرين.
لهذا أرغب في محو أثرها.
الطريقة رد اعتبار، ولكن بعريضة بجميع القضايا أم كل قضية على حدة؟
