How can I claim money back from a friend without a cheque or agreement?

Hello All,

I am living in Dubai and I am financially supporting one of my friends (who runs man power consultancy in Deira) from March 2020 to this date. Now the total amount increased more than AED 275000 (AED 175000 + INR 2500000) Approx.

I keep on asking him to return the full money but he is not returning it. He is always asking for more time to return it but he has missed all the dates multiple times and he is not returning it back.

Please, any one let me know if I make a police complaint on him in Dubai, will I get my money back? Or what kind of action will Dubai police take?

I have account statements as a proof.

My friend already has police cases in Dubai for not paying rent for his house, cheque bounce...

Recently, on 27 June 2022, police arrested him but I don't know where he is now and for which case the police arrested him.

This is not a criminal case, only a a civil case.

You will need to go to court and make a civil case for the recovery since you do not have a cheque.

Do you have his Emirates ID and passport copy?

If yes, we can help you file a civil case for recovery.

For more details you can contact us on the phone.

Hello Arun,

Thank you for your reply.

I will ask him to return the money one more time once he come out of prison. If no update from him, I will contact you.

Thanks

It will be a civil case as long as he did not steal your money.
