How to remove a rent case against me due to a cheque forged on my name?

Back in 2017, I opened a bank account. Somehow the person I previously worked with got his hands on one of my cheques and used it to pay for rent where he lived.

I had no idea. I went back to my country around 2019. I never signed the cheque he forged my signature and I had no name in the Ejari or tenancy contract.

Still, the Dubai Land Department accepted the case. I came back to the UAE on a visit visa just a month ago in 2022 October. They stopped me at the airport and said I have an RDC case registered.

The case was closed 2 times since then but every year they activate it and the total amount I have to pay is 23,300.

Can you please advise me on what I should do?

I also put in an e-request on the RDC site to close the case permanently but the judge refused it.

Please advise me on what I should do and if this means I have a travel ban.

If there was an RDC verdict issued in your absence, then you have the right to make an appeal to clarify your situation and to present proof of the mentioned forging of the cheque.

How do I appeal Sir?

9 Nov 2022, 17:29

I came on a visit visa from Pakistan a little for that. I’m a very poor person. I have tried almost everything no one understands what I’m saying.

Can I go to Dubai Land Department directly and try to appeal?

You have to file a complaint with the police. After you get a judgment, you can stop the procedures for the cheque.

11 Nov 2022, 08:49

I have been to the police and they didn't accept registering a complaint.

They are asking to go to court all the time. This cheque was deposited in 2020 March and now it’s almost 2023.

Can I go to the land department and explain my situation?

11 Nov 2022, 10:04

Yes, and it is better for you to hire a lawyer to study the issue from all its aspects and end it.

11 Nov 2022, 10:05

Until you close this case and the travel ban is lifted from you.

11 Nov 2022, 10:06

We wish you to solve this issue as soon as possible and we regret what your manager did of fraud in your name. This topic will soon end completely.

15 Nov 2022, 09:16

Thank you so much.

29 Nov 2022, 11:05

I went to the police station and they said I don’t have any travel ban, will I be able to exit?

If not, what can they do at the airport?

29 Nov 2022, 13:36

You can go out and travel without any problems.

29 Nov 2022, 13:48

Thank you so much for your advice. May Allah always keep you happy Ameen.

I did a police case on the person who did my forged signature and RDC has removed my name from black list or ban and I have successfully renewed my visit visa.

And also police said I have no travel ban just a case in RDC so that means I can leave and exit to my country.

29 Nov 2022, 13:49

On my old emirates ID, it just showed a case on the Dubai Police app. So that means I can travel, right?

Please let me know.

29 Nov 2022, 13:51

Thank you for using Dubai Police services, the criminal case has been successfully registered.

29 Nov 2022, 13:52

Please just help me out with these last questions as I am very poor and the UAE is very expensive or I would have hired you.

29 Nov 2022, 14:00

Any inquiry you want means that you are not banned from traveling, but a pending criminal case is filed because of the forged signature.

29 Nov 2022, 14:00

You don't have to, I will answer all your inquiries.

 

29 Nov 2022, 14:09

Can you please give me your number?

29 Nov 2022, 14:10

Yes, I put a case on the person who wrote the forged signature on my name.

29 Nov 2022, 14:11

All services over the phone are prepaid.

29 Nov 2022, 14:18

Thank you so much brother, you are a good person and I really appreciate you helping me.

So that means it’s confirmed I have no travel ban and I can exit.

So what if immigration stops me at the airport? What’s the worst they can do?

29 Nov 2022, 14:24

The worst thing you can do is to be prevented from traveling for the duration of the case and to be returned from the airport.

But this will not happen because you did not receive a travel ban letter.

 

29 Nov 2022, 14:32

OMG, thank you so much. So once I buy the ticket, do you recommend I go to terminal 3 immigration and check before travel or that is not necessary?

29 Nov 2022, 14:34

So when a travel ban is imposed, it will say that when you check on the Dubai police app.

29 Nov 2022, 14:54

Yes.

29 Nov 2022, 16:01

Ok brother, thank you so much.

30 Nov 2022, 14:42

Assalam Alaikum.

How are you?

I just need one last help from your side.

If I can provide you with my new passport number, will there be a way if you can absolutely confirm that everything is ok to travel out?

Thank you

30 Nov 2022, 15:29

You don't have to. You can ask for legal advice as you want.

You can book an inquiry service, and we will make a security inquiry about your passport.

 

30 Nov 2022, 15:50

How much would it cost exactly?

Anyways I will go to Bur Dubai police station tomorrow again and provide my passport and confirm again.

30 Nov 2022, 15:52

But to the best of your knowledge, there is no travel ban. Sorry for asking again.

30 Nov 2022, 17:08

The cost of the service starts from $290.

 

30 Nov 2022, 17:19

Honestly, brother, if I had that amount to spend I would have given it to you like family, but I don’t. Sorry about that.

Ok, so just help me with one last question. If I go to the police station again and they say I have no travel ban, should I ask for proof, or if they say I’m good then I leave.

30 Nov 2022, 17:40

Sir,

The cost is for the security survey and name inference. Whoever determines the cost is the legal advice program, and this is the lowest possible cost.

Yes, you can inquire from the police and travel center.

Good afternoon,

Is all Dubai police system the same?

1 Dec 2022, 08:21

All systems are the same right as at the airport, even I can search from any police station.

12 Dec 2022, 12:29

Hi, how are you?

I have gone to the RDC today and my name is not on the wanted list. Also, the police said I don’t have any travel ban so I should be good to travel then.

12 Dec 2022, 12:52

Welcome.

Congratulations to you and your friend's safety in your travel.

12 Dec 2022, 13:25

But the case is still there. The amount says 0. I need to visit Alaweer immigration to check with the immigration.

12 Dec 2022, 13:25

Still in the UAE.

14 Dec 2022, 11:03

Hi,

So if an RDC decision has been made, does that specifically mean a travel ban or travel ban has to be put on separate terms?

Right now in immigration, no backlist or ban is showing and the police said there is no travel ban, which means I’m safe to travel.

14 Dec 2022, 11:11

It is not possible to answer accurately without reviewing the decision.
