The impact of a pending credit card debt on family members upon traveling
2
Q: Hi all,
One of my friends has a pending credit card debt in the UAE/Dubai. She left the country around 5-6 years ago.
She was contacted by an agency, approximately 1-2 years after she left, and was told that she has to make payments or else face a travel ban, a police case, etc.
She asked for the details of the transactions from the agency and bank so that she could settle the payments from outside the UAE, but the bank or agency did not provide detailed statements after repeated requests.
Now, after almost 4 years, my friend's family members, such as parents, cousins, and brothers, want to go on a holiday to Dubai.
Will they be prevented from entering Dubai and stopped at immigration if they have the same family name or address on their travel documents?
Can someone please advise, as my friend is quite worried?
Thanks in advance!

Returning to the UAE: the effect of mother's debts on the daughter

2
Q: Dear sir/madam,
My friend wants to return to the UAE. She previously held a mother sponsorship visa in the UAE. However, her mother has outstanding loans/credit card debts and she is a supplementary cardholder.
In 2016, both their visas were canceled and they returned to the Philippines. Will this affect her chances of returning to the UAE? She did not sign anything for these loans or credit cards, as she is not the principal holder.
However, since her visa is sponsored by her mother, who is the debtor, and she holds a supplementary card, will this affect her? Or will it not because she has not signed anything?"

Filing a case for wrongfully encashing a guarantee cheque 0
3 years back I had given a post-dated cheque as a guarantee to a person whom I had to pay the money.
In 3 years time before the due date of the post-dated cheque, I had paid him partially by cash and cheque for which I have his signed vouchers and the PDC cheque details.
He was supposed to return back my PDC on the due date and collect the balance amount that was around AED 4000. The cheque value was AED 115,000.
On the due date, he demanded more money from me and when I refused, he bounced the cheque and filed a cheque bounce case.
He said I gave him a cheque of a closed bank account when he asked the money back and claimed the full amount. I was arrested and had to pay the fine for the cheque bounce case.
With the agreement I have with me and the payment voucher proof, can I sue him back for the false accusation?
And can I claim compensation for spoiling my name and image?

Suing an employer for unpaid loan taken on the name of employee 0
Salam,
I was working in Dubai and I needed a 50k loan from the company. My boss told me to do him a favour and take a 700000 loan from the bank then take 50k.
I said how. He planned everything and deposited 30k salary on my account and verify from HR and accounts.
The bank agent gave me the loan he paid instalments almost for one year and then he terminated me and said don't worry we will pay your loan.
After I came back to Pakistan, they are paying but after 3-4 months like that, the recovery company calls me in Pakistan daily. what can I do?
If I come to Dubai and make a case on my boss, will the bank help me or I have to hire lawyer?

The consequences of resignation in a limited labour contract 0
Dear Sir,
I hope you are doing well.
My neighbour brother went earlier to Dubai for packing work in a hotel for 2 months. Due to the condition of work & not getting a proper salary, he decided to resign from his job.
When he intimated the same to the employer they said he should pay AED 4500 before leaving & his own ticket. He is from a very poor background that's why he came for AED 900 salary.
But he gets actually 750 only without food. Need your kind support to help him to come back to India.
