Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Is there a path to initiate some sort of investigation by relevant authorities on a company that may have committed fraud by falsifying positive P&l reports in order to obtain loans from a bank?
Loans have been used to finance construction projects. The company has in fact been making losses for over six years & directors/owners have used operational cash to finance down payments & repayments, instead of using their own capital.
In the process, they owe millions to suppliers and also 100s of thousands to staff/workers as they have been constantly delaying payment of salaries going back 3 years & not paid full salaries to everyone for 9 months.
They have been showing/submitting financial reports showing losses as proof/reason for their inability to pay. Is there a way to combat this kind of deception/fraud?

Q: Sir, my husband bought a house in Dubailand on December 10th 2015. He had paid half of the total amount rest he had taken a loan from Noor Bank.
But very unfortunately he was diagnosed with cancer from 2016 February. He has been undergoing treatment since then. But he has been paying the bank EMI every month. But the treatment for his cancer did not work and he passed away on April 2017. We informed Bank.
My husband has made insurance (Takaful) while buying this property. I have also informed about the bank about this. But they are asking for 6 months bank details of husbands which is not possible for me to give.
Now what is the option left in front of me, Sir? Sir, plz help with your advice.

إمكانية المطالبة بالمستحقات العمالية بناءً على الراتب الفعلي وليس المكتوب في العقد 1
السلام عليكم،
أعمل في شركة في العين مند ثلاث سنوات ونصف "منها سنة وعشرة أشهر إقامة تابعة للشركة" وما تبقى كنت أعمل بالإعارة من شركة أخرى. راتبي في عقد العمل 500 درهم ولكن راتبي الفعلي 2500 درهم.
هل يحق لي المطالبة قانونًا على حسب الراتب الفعلي؟
وهل فترة العمل بالإعارة تدخل ضمن أيام المستحقات؟
علمًا بأنني أستلم راتبي بشكل مباشر بإيصال قبض من الشركة، وراتب العقد (500) أستلمه بنكيًا أو عبر فروع الأنصاري.

Hi everyone,
I rent an apartment. After two days in the apartment, water started leaking from the ceiling.

The building manager has started work, but the apartment is no longer habitable.

Unfairly fired with demands to repay housing allowance: Is it legal? 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
My employer (Federal) signed a 3-year contract with me. They have now given me 3 months' notice, ending my contract in May rather than August, saying that my contract was not renewed.
There was no reason given for my non-renewal. My evaluations have been consistently excellent. Further, they are now demanding 3 months of housing allowance be repaid. Is this legal?

Can the collection agencies pursue a legal action against me in my country for unpaid debts in the UAE? 0
Dear Sir
One of my friends took a loan and credit cards from various banks and ran away to Pakistan as he lost his job.
Can anyone chase him in Pakistan?
Actually, he was a victim of fraud, and the person who did this is in jail, and the other ran to Pakistan.
My friend made civil cases and won both. One is in jail for the first case, and the other ran to Pakistan. That's why he defaulted on payment.
