16
Q: Good day!
I'm a resident of the UAE now. I had an unpaid bank loan in Saudi Arabia way back in 2014.
Now, Bilkish agency, a debt collection agency, keeps on calling me to pay my debt in just a few days. I can't afford to pay immediately because I'm not earning too much.
An agent said she will make sure the bank will block me here in the UAE.
Does the collection agency have the right to block me in immigration or put me into travel ban here in the UAE?
Thank you so much for your reply.

Can I negotiate with the bank to reduce the installments of a loan to continue paying?

0
Q: Dear Sir,
I have an outstanding loan and I have left KSA because I lost my job 2 years ago. The bank has used a legal firm in Dubai to contact me. Since I'm jobless for 2 years, I cannot afford to make payments.
Can I pay with the new payment schedule, with a lower installment that I can afford?
I think if we continue to make payments (any amount) the legal team has no right to block me from entering KSA in the future.
Please advise.

Effect of debts in a GCC country on travel ban in the UAE
27
Q: I have a personal loan debt in Saudi Arabia. I am looking now to get a job in Dubai.
Will I be allowed to work in Dubai, as the money I will make will allow me then to pay back the debt in Saudi in full probably by the end of next year?
Please let me know if a travel ban in Saudi is applicable to other GCC countries like Dubai.
I really need some advice as I have been struggling to get a job and had to leave Saudi as I was gonna have my contract not renewed and had to process my divorce as well.
Thanks

Can we vacate the tenant after purchasing a new flat in Dubai? 1
Hi,
I bought a flat in April in Dubai with my husband. The flat has a tenant with a rental contract from the previous owner.
The tenancy contract expires in June. The tenant has previously committed to leave and now wants to stay.
1. Can we force the tenant to leave as per previous confirmations?
2. If we can't make the tenant leave, can we modify the contract (rent, number of cheques, etc) because we did not sign the original contract?
