Q: Good day! I would like to know how can I know if the finance company files a case against me! If I inquire at the nearest police station, is there a possibility that they can detain me if the finance company filed a case against me? I have a loan and a credit card, but unfortunately, I was not able to pay them for almost 11 months now due to financial problem. That's why I want to know if they already filed a case against me and hope you can help me with this matter.

Q: Dear Sir I am a Dubai resident. Last month, the bank filed a criminal case against me for a credit card cheque bounce of AED 16000. I paid the fine and got released from the police station. Now, they send an email stating they are going to file a civil case against me and GCC travel ban (total amount due is AED 30000, including interests). If they file a civil case, will there be any immediate travel ban? How will I know if I get a travel ban? Also, advise if the police can arrest me on the basis of this civil case immediately.

Q: My friend is telling me that everything is now connected with the Emirates ID. And once it is cancelled or your visa is cancelled, all connected banks will get a notification, and the bank will cross-check in their system regarding that person's dues, fines, loans. If they found it, they will take immediate action in order to stop that person from leaving the UAE, is this true? Is there any reality in this fact? I do not have any loan, I am paying my monthly minimum credit card payment. Does the credit card bank get to know that I am leaving because my visa/emirates ID is now cancelled? Will they stop me at the airport?
