Q: I have a Najm credit card, I used to do a minimum payment every month. I am working for a company for the past 2 years. I am not getting salary on time I used to get salary after every 2 or 3 months.
I did them a minimum payment but late by arranging for one or another. I came to know that there is a final settlement for the credit card where you can pay a fixed amount every month.
I requested them for the past 6 months but they didn't help me. Also, I came to know that they have put my salary of 11500 but I am getting a salary of 5000/-.
Every month they are torturing me, for that can you help me with this. They also say they will deposit my security cheque and file a police complaint.
This time when I went to meet one of the people for Najm card, I told him about my situation but they are not ready to listen.
He gave me two options, either to pay 18500/- in one stroke or 20500/- in 2 instalments

Negotiating credit card outstandings with the bank
10
Q: Hi, I lost my job a year ago and I have an outstanding credit card of AED 300k. I've missed the last 9 monthly payments (I am negotiating directly with the bank). I am willing to settle the credit card with one lump sum payment that a friend will lend me.
How much discount on the balance of AED 300k can I negotiate to settle the matter? Should I also ask for a clearance/ no liability letter?

The consequences of missing loan installments due to salary delays
2
Q: Dear Sir,
I have credit cards and loan from 2 banks, almost AED 85k.
Suddenly, my company is not able to pay the salaries & the last few months we are getting the salary after 50 days.
I am managing my credit card by minimum payments but wouldn't be able to make payment of AED 59k loan now (paid 8 instalments).
Now, I am receiving calls from the banks. The banks where I took loans have my cheques.
What will happen now if the banks present my cheques & bounced?
It's very difficult for me to settle.

Bank filed a civil case over a loan: Better to settle with the bank or in court? 0
Good day, Sir,
I have received a message from the Dubai Court stating that a bank has filed a civil case against me. The loan has been pending since February 2019.
I cleared the cheque bounce case earlier with a court fine in 2019. I am looking forward to a minimum settlement plan with the bank. The outstanding amount was around 70,000 AED, and now the message is for 115,000 AED.
What will be the best way for me to proceed: approaching the bank or dealing with it in court?
Best regards,

Hello,
I have given my notice, and my last day is July 24, but the employer is refusing to pay my salary; even the salary for June. Is this even legal?
He claims I'll get everything at once, which is after leaving the country or changing status.

Demanding that an employee pay for visa charges a year after resigning 0
Dear Lawyers,
I worked at a bakeshop here in Dubai. I resigned exactly one year ago. Now they want me to pay for visa charges, as stated in the offer letter.
If I cannot pay for the charges, my employer will claim financial loss due to the damages, estimated to be at least 7,000 AED.
What should I do about this? My monthly salary is only 2,800 AED.
