Clearing debts to avoid legal action of a collection agency
Dear Sirs,
I have checked online to seek legal advice and came across your site. I have lived in Dubai for a few years and returned to Beirut in 2009.
I left back then during the financial crash that happened and had some unsettled debts with banks. Since then, I have communicated with the banks and settled most of my debts a few years ago but I still have some pending.
In the past few days, debt collectors here in Lebanon have been calling and harassing members of my family threatening that they are about to file a lawsuit against me regarding unsettled debts in Dubai.
They have never contacted me personally. I would please like to know what my options are here and how I can make them stop harassing my family or any other person in regards to me.
I tried to communicate with them but they are not helpful at all. Currently, I am unemployed and I can't pay back till I get another job and I'm being threatened with prosecution!
Would really appreciate hearing back from you with any advice.
Dear Sir,
You surely have to settle your debts, because criminal charges may be filed up against you, and you might be even banned from entering Dubai or any other country; not to mention that it would clearly be more difficult for you to get other loans or facilities anywhere.
Hiring a lawyer to settle your case would be the most preferable thing to do.
