Q: Hi.
I would like to ask a question.
I had a bank loan in 2013, and due to crises, I lost my job in 2015 and couldn't continue my loan instalments.
But now, I got a job in Dubai, and before coming to Dubai I spoke to the bank from my home country to remove police case and allow me to come to Dubai. The outstanding amount was AED 68K.
The bank gave me a release letter with the help of Central Bank on the condition that I will continue my loan instalments, but my salary is not that big to be able to continue.
So now the bank is telling me they will make a travel ban and civil case against me.
My question is if bank files a case and I pay a fine in court against the cheque bounce, will the central bank or local bank still make another case or travel ban?
Please help me and give your advice.
Thank you

Travel ban clearance after paying fine for bounced cheque
18
Q: Hi Sir,
My credit card cheque was bounced and I got in jail and paid the fine after the public prosecution hearing, but they did not give me a clearance. They just let me out in the jail.
I would like to ask if I have a travel ban. The bank keeps sending me and for the 8th time that my cheque was bounced again.
Is it also possible that they can repeatedly bounce my cheque? They also threatened me that they will file a civil case a week after the other case was finished.

Q: Salam Mr Khalifa,
Quick question if possible.
If someone has a credit card and he wants to stop it and discuss the settlement of the pending amount with the bank, will there be a travel ban during that period?

هل آن أوان إعادة النظر في بعض القواعد الإجرائية؟ 40
بطبعه وطبيعته، كان القانون وما زال كائناً متطوراً وجسداً متجدداً، ولولا هذه الصفات فيه، لما حقق الغرض الذي من أجله خُلق ووُضع. وسمات التطور والتجدد ليست قاصرةً على فرع دون آخر، أو نوع من بين الأنواع، بل هي سمات ملحوظة في القانونين العام والخاص، وفي المجالين، الموضوعي والإجرائي.

Can the owner of a company escape if there is a cheque execution and travel ban on him? 0
I raised a cheque execution case against a company and its owner and won. There is a travel ban on him. I was receiving installments for three months and now he stopped paying.
The court after request summoned him. In total, he paid only 30% of the owed money. I found that his company license is expired and also in the month his visa will expire.
Does he have any option to avoid payment?
Please note he was deceived by showing no money in his bank account and no assets in his name but he is running multiple businesses.
Also a month ago, he tried to convince me to lift the travel ban but I refused to do so. But he submitted a guarantee and left UAE.
Now the status shows he is back in the UAE and the travel ban imposed again. But after that, he stopped payment.
Is there a 1% chance of him not paying me the remaining money?
Is there a way he can leave the country through the Amnesty program or any of this sort?
