11
Q: I got a call from Jebel Ali police station as I have a bounced cheque there for 60k with FGB and they want me to go there this morning.
I have been told there is a new policy that allows bounced cheques cases to be resolved at the police station. When the police officer called me he assured me that it can be resolved there within the day.
Is that true? What will happen when I go there?

0
Q: I lost my job and could not pay the EMI's since Jan 2017 till now against a personal loan of AED 316,000. The bank bounced my cheque in March 2017 and I was fined Dhs 15,000 by the public prosecutor.
Do I have a travel ban or not by the bank? The bank is calling me every day for paying the loan even after the police case. I am still jobless.

What is the fastest way to lift a travel ban?
16
Q: I paid the fine for cheque bounce of 10,000 and got released. Now the creditor has put the travel ban on me, however, there is no arrest warrant as I got it checked.
Now I want to travel to my home country for Eid, I want to pay the outstanding amount.
1. My question is can I pay the amount at the airport while I leave?
2. or Can I pay at the court and get the travel ban lifted on the same day so that I can travel. The creditor who has put the travel ban on me is out of the country for a month.
I need a lawyer to assist me urgently as I want to travel before Eid.
Thank you.

View allRecovering the unpaid price of items delivered over a year ago 0
Dear Sirs,
I have a Reseller Contract which was signed between us and another party for the sale of 10000 units of Terminal Stations.
The final supply was to be done to the India Telecom over a 5-year period at 2,200 units per year, based on a purchase contract signed between us and another company.
Based on this agreement, we placed an order for 2200 units at a value of AED12,273,400 (Twelve million two hundred seventy-three thousand four hundred).
Based on the purchase order, the other party made a payment of 15% as a deposit and we finalized and handed over, but they didn’t pay since one year.
Kindly let us know if you can guide us how we can recover our funds legally.
Looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest.

Obtaining refund from the developer for project delay 0
I booked an off-plan studio in R.E.P. DIP. The developer posts to me the contract to sign. I signed the contract and posted it back to their address.
The texture property In Dubai has been dealing and I transferred 10% to reserve the unit in June 2015. I have paid over 30% until the end of Dec 2016.
I stopped paying the rest of instalments because after viewing 0% construction report through DLD website and neither developer has provided me Oqood.
There is still no construction as per the DLD report for project number 1514. I am considering to get a refund.
The total price of the studio is AED 330000. 10% at the outset, 36 equal instalments during construction, 20% on handover and 18 equal instalments after the handover.
I have paid 10% and 18 equal instalments out of 36 during the construction as per contract. Total AED 109,973.94 paid: AED 109,973.00
What are the possibilities to get a refund from the developer? How much would it cost?

Consequences of filing a criminal case against a debtor by the bank 0
Hi,
I have just found out I have a police case filed by my bank on a credit card payment. I have a credit card with 25k limit and could not do minimum payments for 1 year (due to job loss), nevertheless, the bank filed a case against me for 190k.
I do not understand on what ground and would like to know what to do. As well, how can I find out if I have a travel ban as I would rather try and solve the situation remotely from home than be concerned that I will be jailed here?
Your advice is appreciated.

What to do if you have credit card debts 0
Hi,
I am staying in Abu Dhabi with my husband & 7 years old daughter. My husband was working in a big construction company from the year 1996. In October 2015, he got terminated due to which he went in depression.
He got another job but due to depression, he was not going to work regularly. The company terminated him. He doesn't have a job for 2 months & he is not in the position to look for the job as he has depression again.
He was having 3 credit cards. During his first job, he paid regularly without any delays. But after this new job, he didn't pay on time & even for 2 cards we were unable to pay for around 1 year. For the third card after checking with the bank, we had made installments but now for past 3 months, we didn't pay for it.
I really don't know what to do. I am also working but my salary is good enough for the rent only. Nowadays, our friends are helping us for the daily needs even.
Kindly let me know what could be the possible solution for this & can I send my daughter to the home country?
