Dear A., Thank you for contacting KHA Advocates. For starters, you can present your Emirates ID to the representatives at the Dubai Courts, who will issue a sort of “clearance letter,” which states whether you have a case filed against you or not, or you may approach Al Adheed first. Furthermore, you may do the same but at the Dubai Police who can check their system to see if any criminal case is filed against you. Should you not have time to conduct the search, we may do so on your behalf for AED 1,500 and we would need to do a Power of Attorney. Kindly let us know. KHA Advocates.

I left an unpaid credit card. How to check if I have a case against me?

Q: Good Day! I left an unpaid credit card loan of AED 3,000 in Dubai last 2019 (My credit limit is 5,000). Since 2016, I had my card deactivated & just paid the minimum monthly till 2019. I was laid off from work & so I did not pay the balance. As far as I remember, I did not give a security cheque to the bank. Will they still file a case against me? And also, my sister who is still in Dubai went to check if I have a civil case at Muraqqabat police station & was told that my name has no case. Can I rely on the police report? Is it possible that the bank forgives a defaulter like me? Thank you

The renewal of a rental contract when one cheque is dishonored

Q: Hi, Our house rental contract has already expired 3 days ago. We intend to renew but the real estate company said that we need to first settle the 1 cheque we failed to pay AED15,200 (4 months ago). All other cheques before and after this "dishonored cheque" were good. Our house contract is in my name but the cheques given are in my mother's. The real estate owner said they had filed a case in the police station and municipality. Questions: What does he mean by Municipality? Is it the RDC? Will both the cases be in my name or my mother's? I'm just worried that if we won't be able to renew the contract, we will be kicked out soon. Thank you so much for your kind help and assistance!

Can I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed?

Dear Lawyers, I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August. Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F. The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee. Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this? Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?
