Q: Where can I check if I have a police case/ travel ban filed against me due to credit card debt?

Q: Dear Sir, My name is James Joseph and I wish to check if any case is registered against me in the UAE for not paying the credit card amount of AED 5000/-. Please, if possible let me know the procedures for how to check the same. Currently, I am residing outside the UAE and had worked in the UAE for the period from July 2005 - April 2008.

Q: Asalam, Hope my message finds you in good health. Please advise me. I have a few credit cards and one bank loan on me, and it's some time 4 years ago. I am sure now they have filed cases against me. I am in my home country and willing to come to the UAE. What is the problem I will be facing and does the judge have the right to give judgment without my appearance? And how can I know what are the cases against me and what is their judgment? Waiting for your informatic reply. Thanks, T.M.D

Q: My friend left the UAE for family emergency reasons and had a loan debt remaining to the bank. He continued to pay the instalments for the next 3-4 months but could no longer because he did not have full-time employment. He kept in contact with the bank and let them know his situation. He only has part-time work while looking for full time and offered to make small payments to show good faith until he is able to secure full-time work. Now the loan is with a collection agency which is requesting a large sum or they will pursue legal action in the US against him. He wants to pay but due to his situation, he is unable to at this moment. They refused his smaller amount of payment offer. He does not plan on travelling back to Abu Dhabi. The question is, he is trying to pay but they will not accept that amount. Why will they not take the amount offered since he is communicating and wants to pay? What can they do to him in the US? How will that help them get their money back?

Q: I have 2 credit cards. One of them started in 2016 and was not paid from Dec. 2016. Can the bank file a civil case against me after already filing a criminal case in court now? The other credit card was started 5 years before. Can the bank file a civil case against me? They are calling me every week. The limit was 75k and the bank said they are now calculating interest and reached approx. 110k.

Q: Hello sir, Good day to you! I have a 10K credit card debt that needs to be paid in full. I will be able to pay for it only by December. I will be traveling to my home country in November for 3 weeks. Will I have a travel ban or an arrest for this debt? I am very concerned!
