Dubai company not paying us, can we file a case with bounced cheques?

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are a company located in Ras Al Khaimah. We have been working with a company in Dubai that is not paying us on time.

The current balance due is 142K and we have all the necessary documents (invoices, balance sheet) with their stamp.

Can we file a case against them?

Note: We also have two pending cheques from their company, but it looks like they will bounce.

Good evening,

Yes, definitely you can file a case and if the evidence that you hold is as described, then that will support your case significantly.

However, if the value of the bounced cheques you hold is accumulating to the same value as the actual outstanding balance, then you can file a (payment order) case which has many advantages such as it will process in 5 days and it will be issued within 3 days.

For more clarification or support, please contact our office.

Kind Regards,

Dear Questioner,

Yes, surely you can.

For the cheques, you can initiate enforcement proceedings immediately once they bounce, and for the invoices, you can either sue or obtain a performance order (depending on the nature of the documents you have).

For more information and to aid you in your case, please contact us on WhatsApp.

Hello,

We have all pending invoices with their stamp on them.

Also, we have a balance sheet signed and stamped by them.

Then, you can sue by way of a performance order.

Obtaining a performance order is a much faster process and will save you so much time and expenses.

You will need to translate the balance sheet and then serve the counterparty with a legal notice to pay the outstanding amount within 5 working days or else you will take legal action.

If they do not make the payment within 5 working days, you will submit a statement of claim, the legal notice, and the stamped balance sheet to the court, pay judicial fees, and ask for the issuance of a performance order.

Within a week's time (usually) you will have a judgment in your hand obliging them to pay the amount pending.

For more information and to aid you in your case, please contact us on WhatsApp.

Also note: I have all pending invoices and the latest balance sheet signed & stamped by the customer. Furthermore, I have sent them formal emails through the company for reminders.

Dear user,

You may try sending a legal notice first to demand them to pay the outstanding amount, and if they don't pay, you may then proceed with filing a case.

Contact us if you need any further assistance in this matter.

Hello,

Yes, we can legally represent you in issuing a legal notice to urge payment.

If compliance is not met, we can file a lawsuit to claim the outstanding amounts and legal interest until full payment is made.

We will proceed with the necessary procedures until full execution.

Please contact me for further assistance.

Dear Questioner,

According to your brief, you can certainly file a case against them. However, in most cases with such a small amount, a legal notice is sufficient to settle the matter.

I can assist you with legal notice and also with the case.

Feel free to reach out to me.
