Q: Hi I had unpaid liability towards a car rental company based in Dubai. There was no cheque with them as they took a deposit from the cc. The company filed a case in Feb 2019. I got to know about it when I checked online on the system; it also mentioned the station in which it has been registered. But from a couple of months, it is not showing online. Please let me know what might be the reason and how to proceed further to get it cleared. Thanks.

Q: Hi, I was working in Dubai and the owner of the company where I was working ran away from Dubai leaving all the employees stuck. I was driving a rental car rented by the company as part of the contract between me and the company. When I cancelled my visa, there was nobody to take the car from me so I left it with my friend who delivered the car later to one employee who returned it back to the rental car company. I am now applying for a good conduct certificate from Dubai, would this car issue cause any troubles for me?
