Bank account of a terminated employee
Q: I need your assistance, please. I believe that the Central Bank of the UAE may freeze the bank account of a terminated employee. We have a client in the UAE and need to know what the employer’s obligation is to inform the bank when an employee’s contract is being terminated. Is there a specific format that must be used to inform the bank or what is expected of the employer?

Holding the EOSB of an employee by the bank upon changing jobs
Q: Hi, Good eve, Madam. I have a query regarding EOSB. I resigned from my previous company and my EOSB was held by the bank due to my existing loan until I can provide them with new documents for my current job. Let's make things short. I provide them with a new visa and salary transfer letter addressed to the bank. Unfortunately, upon presenting all the documents, they informed me that the new company is not listed in the bank. Do the bank have the right to use my EOSB to adjust my remaining loan?

Leaving the UAE and paying bank debts from another country
Q: Hi Ma'am, I am an Indian National living in the UAE. I have 1 credit card, I do not have any loan and I also do not have any EMI to pay but I have AED 25000 due to pay for my credit card. As soon as my salary is credited as the final salary in my bank account, will the bank file any case or inform the police to stop me before leaving Dubai? Now I got a job in Saudi Arabia and I am unable to pay all the money at once. My question is that, can I leave the UAE without paying the due amount? Will it create any issue at the airport while leaving to India on the final exit? If I want to go to India without informing the bank and without paying the due amount, will the Dubai police stop me at the immigration at Dubai Airport while leaving to India on the final exit?

The gratuity is not enough to cover the loan. What to do?
Q: I am 58 years old working in Abu Dhabi. I am terminated from my work due to redundancy. I have a bank loan and my end-of-service benefit is not enough to cover my loan balance. Is it possible for my gratuity to cover my monthly payment to the bank until such time I could find another job? Are bank loans covered by insurance? If I could not find a job and I cannot pay my loan balance, will I go to jail? Please advise on how to settle my loan with the bank.

How can I clear my loan and access funds if my account is frozen upon resignation?
Q: Hi, I am currently working in the UAE and have a remaining loan with my bank. I am now out of the country and plan to resign. My final gratuity is higher than my remaining loan. Since the bank will automatically freeze my account after receiving my final settlement, my question is: How can I clear my remaining loan and retrieve the remaining money while I am already out of the UAE? Thank you for your answer!

Filing a case for wrongfully encashing a guarantee cheque
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?
