Q: Dear Sir, I need an advice on my three rental cheques of AED 4800 each, which bounced in Sharjah and the landlord has filed a complaint in Sharjah Police Station. Alongside, the court has ordered to vacate the place. I have been jobless for the last 15 months and I have told the judge about my condition. What do I have to do now? As per the new rule on cheque bounce, can I hire a lawyer and pay a fine for my bounced cheque and be released from the police station so that I can apply for a new job? Please guide me.

Q: Dear Sir, I have a question regarding my rental cheques, where two cheques got bounced recently. For the first cheque, I got arrested by the police at Dubai Airport. I paid the fine at Dubai Courts, then they released me. After two days, one more cheque got bounced and I had already requested to negotiate with the management but they didn't listen. I cannot pay now because I don't have a job. Now my question is, can I travel to my home country after paying the fine for my second bounced cheque? Please advise as soon as possible. Thank you.

Q: Dear Madam, I took a personal loan from a bank for AED162,000/- and paid AED 139,000/-. Now, the balance is 84,000/- (with interest). I received information that the bank has filed a case for AED 219,000/-. I did not pay the monthly EMI of AED 4,538/- for more than 6 months due to job loss. How is the bank filing a case for 219,000/- instead of the actual amount? What is the procedure to reply to the bank against this case? Please advise. Thanks and regards, S.

Q: Dear Sir, The bank filed a criminal case against me for security bounced cheque of AED 220,000/-. Actually, I took a personal loan for AED 162,000/- only for 48 months and the EMI per month is 4,538/-. I have paid 30 EMI for AED 140,000/-. I didn't pay the EMIs last few months. So the bank deposited my security cheque for full value. What is the expected fine or judgement for the above? How long it will the case filed in Dubai police station take? Thanks and regards, N.

Q: Hi Sir, I have a judgement in absentia for 3 cheque bounce cases with amounts less than 100,000 in Dubai, U.A.E. Can I appeal and convert them to fines through a lawyer?

Q: My friend has paid the fine of the case in Abu Dhabi but it is not updated in the system. How to update it?

Q: Dear sir/madam, I owe a bank for a personal loan in Abu Dhabi. I have since left Abu Dhabi. I have contacted the bank and they will not negotiate, however, I find myself needing to return to the UAE. I have had contact with a debt company in the UAE that claims that for a price, they will remove the criminal police case by clearing the fine that was issued giving me a clearance letter, therefore allowing me to return. Is this correct? Can they do this via power of attorney?
