Paying the amount of a bounced cheque to avoid consequences
I am Ravi, doing business in Ajman.
I had to come to India on an emergency by Aug 18. Unfortunately, there was a cheque of AED 120K issued to one of the suppliers [in Sharjah] and it got bounced.
I have personally called and informed them, upon reaching back I will give the money.
They are not accepting my request and started threatening my son who's living alone in the UAE.
He's calling me to India saying that they will put me in a UAE jail [in case I am there] and they are going to file a new case in India to stop me from travelling to the UAE.
Now, they're demanding me to pay AED 140K, otherwise, they will not withdraw the case against me.
If I arrange AED 90K now & surrender the passport, will the police allow me to go out to arrange the balance amount?
In case I could arrange the full amount of AED 120K will they release me?
Any possibility to clear it off without arresting me?
If I arrive at Dubai Airport, will I be shifted to Sharjah? Or Ajman?
Please advise how to resolve this.
Dear Ravi.
I hope you are doing well. Do not be in much panic over the issues.
You can be arrested at the airport only if they have registered the case on the bounce of the cheque.
You can get a bail on the passport depending upon the emirate the case is registered. They have no right to threaten your cousin or anybody over the issue.
Since you are ready to sort the issues you need to set up a proper strategy to deal with them and avoid complications.
Be cool and do not panic over the casual threats. Feel free to reach me for taking up the matter head and set the strategy and avoid the arrest.
