2
Q: Hi Eman,
I am K. R. D. C. G., currently live in Canada. I worked in UAE (Abu Dhabi & Ajman) from 2013 to 2016.
I would like to request a police clearance certificate for immigration purposes (For Canadian Permanent Residence).
I have tried twice online but have failed. In 2016, I had to go back to Sri Lanka due to my wife's medical situation (she was pregnant).
I quit my job & left the UAE without informing my employer, banks, landlord... etc. & I never went back. I have my Expired Emirates ID with me.
Please advise.

Obtaining a police clearance certificate for immigration purposes
12
Q: I am an ex-resident in Dubai and been there for approximately 6.5 years. I left Dubai in Apr 2015 due to family reasons and haven't paid a loan and credit card.
Now, if I need a police clearance certificate for me, will that certificate make me go through the process?
If I am planning to file a PR to Canada for that purpose, will the UAE Embassy issue me the PCC with a clear record or?
Kindly advise.

Checking status after leaving Dubai with credit card outstanding
0
Q: I was a resident of Dubai around 10 years back, and during that time I had some credit card balances which I am paying monthly. Not in every month.
I want to settle the debt, but before starting a negotiation with the bank I would like to know if there is a police case against me.
Is it a good idea to try and apply for the police good conduct certificate? If there is any case, how will the certificate look like?
Will I get the case details on the certificate or no certificate at all?
Also, during that time I did not have any Emirates ID. Can I apply even without the Emirates ID?

How can I refund the amount of online tickets in Dubai for fraudulant misrepresentation? 0
Last Friday, I was booking tickets for the Miracle Garden on some Dubai tickets website, and on the OTP page, it showed 225 to be paid on my phone. The otp was added automatically, and I couldn't read the message properly. It turns out 4,225 got deducted from my account.
I immediately called the bank, and they said they can't reverse the transaction, fill out the dispute resolution form, etc. Even tho the transaction was in process today, the transfer shows complete.
Is there a way to get it back?
I registered an online complaint with the Central Bank and cybersecurity. I really need the money with my rent coming up, please guide me.

What to do if someone impersonated an employee in the company I own and got mobile lines and phones? 0
Someone impersonated an employee in the company I have owned since 2012 and extracted 18 mobile lines in addition to several iPhones.
I was surprised that the company cut off our landline and mobile communications on the pretext that he was monitoring a debt of 167,000 dirhams.
This person was arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to deportation. However, the telecommunications company is still demanding from my company and pursuing me because of this debt that we are not to blame for.
How can this matter be resolved?

How long does it take for a bounced cheque case to be closed after a settlement? 0
Hello,
I had a cheque bounce case filed against me in Dubai, but I’ve now settled it with the complainant. The case has been with the Public Prosecution, and I’ve already submitted the notarized settlement documents.
It’s been 5 days since submission, and when I checked with the legal team, they couldn’t give me a clear timeline on how long it might take for the case to be withdrawn and for me to receive clearance.
Does anyone here have experience with this process? How long did it take for your case to be closed after submitting the notarized withdrawal request? Should I expect it to be done in a few days, or could it take longer?
Thanks in advance!

How can victims file a group case for fraud, bounced cheques, and misuse of credit cards? 0
Hello,
I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business.
Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques.
We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation.
Thank you!

One of our partners on the license has not been in communication since November 2024.
He is also in Dubai but is not answering phone calls or replying to messages.
What is the procedure to remove his name from the license in this situation without his absence?
Please advise!
