Questions & Answers
الإقراض بشكل ودي دون إثبات في الإمارات
مرحبًا،
اقترض مني أحد زملائي 60000 درهم إماراتي. قال إنه سيرد المال في غضون أسبوع. لم يرد إلي المال.
لقد مضى على هذا 18 شهرًا، والآن هو لا يأتي إلى المكتب. ليس لدي أي دليل على أخذه المال.
منذ 8 أشهر كتب رسالة خطية وذكر فيها أنه سوف يعطيني المال قبل شهر سبتمبر، ولدي محادثة معه عبر الواتساب.
هل يمكنني الحصول على أموالي إذا ذهبت إلى المحكمة؟ ما هي الإجراءات؟
من فضلك ساعدنى.

Dear Questioner,
Please note that borrowing any money from individuals who are not licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE is not allowed.
However, I assume this was a friendly loan without any interest. As this is a friendly loan, I am not sure there would be a proper documentation.
If there is a proper documentation, then you can easily file a criminal complaint.
In your case, I am not sure of the nature of the letter and I will not be able to advise you until I go through the same.
Further, you have not mentioned what was the mode of payment, I mean whether you gave the amount to the other party by bank transfer, cheque or by hand.
If it is a cheque, that would serve as a good proof.
I would suggest you hire a lawyer so that the lawyer can serve a legal notice on behalf of you demanding the return of the amount by giving him a final warning to return the same within a stipulated time period.
Hope the above explanation gives you proper clarification. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further assistance or information.
Thank you.

Dear Questioner,
Good afternoon. Thanks for contacting online. Since you told that you dont have any evidence while giving money hope that you have given as cash . Anyway as you have his letter admitting the liability and the whatsapp chats, based on those documents case can be initiated against him for recovery of the same by first sending a legal notice demanding him to pay and in the event of non compliance legal proceedings for receovery can be initiated.
Please contact me on 0556635526 or whatsapp me on 0508575526 or e mail me on ar@alnassaradvocates.com if you need any further assistance.

Dear Questioner,
Do you have any cheque issued by him, as guaranty of your loan?
In case that you don't have any guarantee cheque issued by him, any contract signed by parties but you have: the proof that the amount of AED 60,000 has been transferred from your bank account directly to his bank account; the email confirmation (from his side) stated that he will return the money (basically he confirmed that he took the loan from you); some messages conversation, you may have change in the Court.
At the beginning, I will suggest you to hire a lawyer to send him a legal notice, and see his reaction on it.
Will be more easier for you to reach a settlement with him (you can agree on a monthly payment), intend of filing a court case against him (this will generate extra fee for you as lawyer fees, court fees, expert fee - if necessary, execution fee, translations fee, etc).
In case I can be of your assistance, please contact me at rg@elnaggarlegal.com
