Q: Hi Nikhat,
I hope you are well and don't mind messaging you.
I saw your post about a police good conduct certificate. If I apply for one of these from outside the UAE, will it say if I have any open cases against me?
I believe they are closed and would like to re-enter the UAE.
Many thanks in advance for your advice.
Kind regards

Rejection of clearance certificate for a previous cheque case
6
Q: Hi,
I am outside of the UAE.
I had a previous case for a bounced cheque with a bank in Dubai, going in front of the judge I was ordered to pay a fine, which I did and the case was cleared and I left the UAE.
I have applied for an online police clearance certificate but it was rejected, does this mean there is an open case or due to the old case?

Is it possible to be blacklisted after paying the fine in a bank loan case
3
Q: My name is Asanka.
I have a problem with ADIB because I have a personal Loan of AED 28500.
I kept paying and now the outstanding balance is AED 5900, but last month I tried to go on emergency vacation. They stopped me at the airport and took me to Naif Police Station and made a case.
Next day, they put me in court and ADIB made a cheque case of AED 34000. So, the court gave me a fine of AED 2020.
I need to know if I’m blacklisted in Dubai and if that outstanding amount of AED 5900 I still need to pay.
Please help me.
Thanks.
Asanka

Clearing issues with credit cards before entering the UAE
0
Q: Asalam Alaikum
In Feb 2017 I came from the UAE to my home country because my company closed and did not find a new job.
I have credit cards with different banks worth AED 80,000 plus which I didn't pay after I finished my job.
Now, I don't have a job and I want to come to the UAE again because there are no jobs in my country also.
Before that, I worked in the UAE for over 6 years so I want to know if I can travel or will be facing a travel ban.
If there's no travel ban and I come to the UAE, what will happen to me, will they stop me at the airport or what?

Filing a case for wrongfully encashing a guarantee cheque 0
3 years back I had given a post-dated cheque as a guarantee to a person whom I had to pay the money.
In 3 years time before the due date of the post-dated cheque, I had paid him partially by cash and cheque for which I have his signed vouchers and the PDC cheque details.
He was supposed to return back my PDC on the due date and collect the balance amount that was around AED 4000. The cheque value was AED 115,000.
On the due date, he demanded more money from me and when I refused, he bounced the cheque and filed a cheque bounce case.
He said I gave him a cheque of a closed bank account when he asked the money back and claimed the full amount. I was arrested and had to pay the fine for the cheque bounce case.
With the agreement I have with me and the payment voucher proof, can I sue him back for the false accusation?
And can I claim compensation for spoiling my name and image?

Suing an employer for unpaid loan taken on the name of employee 0
Salam,
I was working in Dubai and I needed a 50k loan from the company. My boss told me to do him a favour and take a 700000 loan from the bank then take 50k.
I said how. He planned everything and deposited 30k salary on my account and verify from HR and accounts.
The bank agent gave me the loan he paid instalments almost for one year and then he terminated me and said don't worry we will pay your loan.
After I came back to Pakistan, they are paying but after 3-4 months like that, the recovery company calls me in Pakistan daily. what can I do?
If I come to Dubai and make a case on my boss, will the bank help me or I have to hire lawyer?

The consequences of resignation in a limited labour contract 0
Dear Sir,
I hope you are doing well.
My neighbour brother went earlier to Dubai for packing work in a hotel for 2 months. Due to the condition of work & not getting a proper salary, he decided to resign from his job.
When he intimated the same to the employer they said he should pay AED 4500 before leaving & his own ticket. He is from a very poor background that's why he came for AED 900 salary.
But he gets actually 750 only without food. Need your kind support to help him to come back to India.
