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.
