Q: Dear Madam Nikhat,
I have outstanding amounts for two different banks on credit card.
I lived in the UAE for almost 5 years and when I lost my job, I came back to home country and attempted many times applying for a visit visa to go back to the UAE.
Unfortunately, all my visit visa applications were rejected and I came to know from the immigration department that I have got some AL Aman ban.
After coming back to my home country, being jobless with no financial support I have paid (with the help of my relatives) installments on my credit cards upto 7months.
I am getting emails from both banks regarding legal case & travel ban for not clearing the remaining outstanding amounts. I replied to them that I need time to go back to the UAE, get a job and clear my dues.
Kindly advise, how can I settle these outstanding amounts, and is it possible to remove this ban?
Thank you,
Regards

Hiring a lawyer to defend a civil case for credit card
2
Q: I have an unpaid credit card in the UAE. I no longer live in the UAE. However, I am trying to make payments as best I can.
ENBD has referred the account to a collection agency, who is, of course, threatening with civil action and a "lifetime" GCC travel ban.
In the next few months, I will be able to clear up the account but I need some time after being unemployed since leaving the UAE 12 months ago.
If this goes to the civil court, is it best to hire a lawyer to deal with this since I am not in the UAE?

Q: Salam Mr Khalifa,
Quick question if possible.
If someone has a credit card and he wants to stop it and discuss the settlement of the pending amount with the bank, will there be a travel ban during that period?

Can I apply for a visit visa after settling credit card debt?

1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I had a credit card debt of AED 18,000 in Dubai. I left the UAE in 2019 with an outstanding balance due to my financial situation. I have since negotiated a settlement and made payment.
I have received a settlement letter and a letter from the bank requesting the police to release the case.
My question is, can I now apply for a visit visa?
Has my travel ban been lifted?
Thank you!

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to make the seller hand over the tenant's security deposit to the buyer upon completing a sale? 0
Should the seller in Dubai hand over their tenant's security deposit to the buyer upon completing a sale?
Who is responsible for managing this process?
At the time of the exchange, the broker said he would follow up with the seller and collect the deposit.
He hasn’t, and the seller has not handed over the deposit.

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
