Inquiring about police cases for defaulting on loan and credit card
59
Q: Good day!
I would like to know how can I know if the finance company files a case against me!
If I inquire at the nearest police station, is there a possibility that they can detain me if the finance company filed a case against me?
I have a loan and a credit card, but unfortunately, I was not able to pay them for almost 11 months now due to financial problem.
That's why I want to know if they already filed a case against me and hope you can help me with this matter.

Settlement of a loan to avoid criminal and civil actions 

1
Q: Hi.
I got a loan of 30,000 from a finance company. I was paying my monthly EMI. After that, I lost my job and I wasn't able to pay.
Then I got another job. My employer applied for a visa but my name got a match with a guy who is blacklisted in the UAE.
After many attempts, I got the visa but I did not get my Emirates ID. Due to expired ID, my sim got blocked and I was not in contact with the finance company.
Even to date, I don't have an ID. Before a few months, the finance company put a case on me and I was unaware about that and I have no idea that there is running a case on me.
In my absence, the court gave a judgement of 5 months in prison. I'm still in the UAE. A few days ago, I was travelling from Sharjah to Oman and they arrested me at Sharjah airport.
I am on bail now. My next date in court will be in next week. I want to know is there any solution to avoid prison or convert prison to fine?

ماهية الإستشارة القانونية 0
إن الاستشارات القانونية هي أحد أهم أعمال المحاماة، وقد يعتقد البعض أنه ليس من الضروري تعيين محامي متخصص لأعمالهم أو شركاتهم إلا في حال التعرض لمشاكل قانونية، إلا أن حقيق الأمر تتطلب الحذر دائمًا، فبدلًا من أن تواجه ردود أفعال غير مرغوب فيها قد تكلفك الكثير من الوقت والجهد والمال، يمكنك الحصول على استشارة قانونية أياً كانت قيمتها فلا تقارن بقيمة الخسائر المادية والمشاكل القانونية التي قد تنتج عن التصرف بدونها، ولعل كثرة القضايا والمنازعات سببها عدم أخذ الرأي القانوني من أهل الخبرة.

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!

السلام عليكم،
لدي دعوى عقارية وقد تأخَّر المطور في إنجاز المشروع. أخطرت المطور بإشعار إنهاء عقد موثّق من الكاتب العدل وبإعلان بالنشر.
بعدها سجلت قضية لفسخ العقد واسترجاع المبلغ المدفوع لشراء الوحدة، وفي أثناء نظر الدعوى، أرسل المطور إيميل لي بإخطاري بسداد المبلغ المتبقي وباستلام الوحدة.
هل هناك قانون يجيز أن تعتبر الوحدة قد سُلِّمت لي بموجب البريد الإلكتروني من المطور أثناء نظر القضية ولم يصدر فيها حكم بعد؟

I purchased an apartment, but the previous landlord refuses to vacate. What to do? 0
Hello,
I bought an apartment, but the previous landlord is refusing to vacate it. The contract clearly states that the landlord should hand over the apartment on the day of the transfer.
Out of courtesy, I gave him three days to vacate so he could find a new place to stay, but the time has passed, and he is still refusing to vacate and hand it over.
What should I do in this case?

My hair was damaged by a very known and professional salon. Can I seek refund and compensation? 0
Hello.
I went to a very well-known and professional salon (or so I thought) for a normal hair dye. The guy who did my hair left the dye on my hair for over an hour when it was supposed to be on for a maximum of 30 minutes.
He wasn’t paying attention to me walking around the store talking to everyone and also doing another customer's extensions.
Now my hair is potentially damaged, my skull burns, and is flaky (meaning the dye wasn’t ammonia-free which is extremely unprofessional for such an expensive salon).
I didn’t even get the outcome that I wanted and the dye color doesn’t even show. I talked to him about it but he shut it down so fast and gaslit me the whole time and made me feel like I was the wrong one and I was ‘complaining about something so light’.
Please let me know what I can do legally about this.
Thank you.
