How can you claim back the money you lent to somebody who refuses to return?

Dear Sir/Madam,

An Indian in the UAE has taken a loan by bank transfer and has not returned it for the last 4 years, although his business is growing

Unfortunately, the lender in India is going through a very bad phase financially due to medical issues. Repeated requests to return the amount in this time of need are being ignored.

The only documentation is an email exchange before the loan was given.

Can the UAE police and administration help with this?

Yes, but this is a civil case, not a criminal one.

Loans between people are not within the jurisdiction of the police, but rather of the civil court.

He can file a civil case in the UAE courts against that person, either by himself, through a lawyer who has a power of attorney, or through a relative who has a power of attorney.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question, I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

In a case where an individual in the UAE owes money to someone in India and is not repaying the loan, it can be legally complex, given the cross-border nature of the issue.

The UAE authorities may not directly intervene in private financial disputes.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards

Yes. If the party is in UAE you can file a case against him by issuing a Power of attorney to a lawyer.

If we have adequate proof to establish our side, then the judge can issue a verdict in our favor.
