Q: Hi Sir,
I have a concern regarding the issue with a collection agent for RAK Bank.
I didn't pay my credit card debts for several months due to some family financial matter.
Now, I am in trouble and put in a warning by the management for termination, because of the collection agent who keeps on sending emails to the company's email addresses on our website.
He is harassing me also and affecting my emotions, mental health and credibility in the company.
I have informed him that I can provide a payment by next month, but he keeps on insisting to pay on 28 and sending to the company's email address.
What should I do?

أحقية مكتب التحصيل في رفع قضية ضد مدين رغم تسوية الأمر مع البنك مباشرة


6
س: السلام عليكم،
لدي قرض من الإمارات وتعثرت ولم أستطع سداده بالكامل كوني سُرِّحت من عملي. رجعت للأردن وبقيت مدة سنة دون تسديد، ولكن كان البنك يحاول التواصل معي.
بعد ذلك، تواصل معي مكتب تحصيل في الأردن وهددني برفع قضية. اشتغلت وقررت أن أرجع أُسدد للبنك دفعات شهرية، واتفقت مع البنك على مبلغ أعطيه لهم كل شهر.
ومع ذلك، ما زال مكتب التحصيل يهددني، وقد تواصلوا مع مكان عملي وأخبروهم بموضوع القرض.
سؤالي: هل يحق لهم رفع قضية مع العلم أني اتفقت مع البنك على دفعات شهرية؟
وهل من حقهم التواصل مع مكان عملي ووضع شغلي بوضع حرج بسببهم؟

Harassment by a telecommunication company to collect the unpaid due bill
2
Q: Can a telecommunication company come to my HR to collect the unpaid due bill?
They called me and said that they will do so. I mentioned over the phone that they communicate to me via email and I will respond there.
They are checking my personal information. I have a recording of the conversation. Are they legally allowed to harass me like that?
Thank you!

ملاحقة شركات التحصيل لمدين في عمله
2
س: السلام عليكم،
لدي قرض قديم عجزت عن سداده منذ العام ٢٠١٦. حُررت قضية جنحة مالية (شيك بسوء نية) وحُكِم بالغرامة المالية وقتها وتم سدادها.
بعد ذلك لم نتمكن من الاتفاق على تسوية وازدادت أوضاعي المالية سوءًا مع شركتي القديمة التي أقاضيها الآن أمام المحكمة العمالية ولم تُنفِّذ الحكم الصادر.
انتقلت إلى شركة حديثًا وبدأت تطاردني شركات التحصيل وأصبح الأمر مزعجًا لدرجة أنها تتصل على الشركة الجديدة والموظفين الذين يعملون بها والذين لم أتعرف عليهم حتى الآن ويطلعونهم على الأمر، بل ويرسلون رسائل إلى إيميلاتهم الشخصية ويخبرونهم أنني متهرب وأنهم يريدون التوصل إليّ!
تسبب ذلك في جعل مدير الشركة يتخذ موقف عدواني ويوقف إجازاتي ويمهلني مهلة لوقف الأمر ومعالجة هذه الشركات ولا أدري ما الذي سيتخذه بعدها.
هل ما تفعله هذه الشركات أمر قانوني؟ وما موقفي القانوني معها؟ أصبحت مهددًا بالطرد من وظيفتي وأعاني من نظرات زملائي لي؟

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I had a loan from a financial institution a long time ago. A year ago, someone called me and said I could pay any amount, and they would confirm my payment.
After paying for a few months, they didn't confirm, and I cannot reach the person.
Now, they are bothering me again at my company. What should I tell them?
I'm afraid of losing my job.

Legal remedy for non-compete suit filed by ex-employer 1
Hi,
I have signed a non-compete clause (under unlimited contract) with my previous company. After working for 8 years with them, they terminated me.

What is the available remedy?

Eligibility for 3 months salary benefit upon termination for redundancy 16
Hi,
I worked in my company for 8 years and was terminated on the same day specifying redundancy as the reason. The company paid me all the dues (1 month notice period salary, gratuity, and unpaid leave salary).
I want to know if I am eligible for 3 months termination salary benefit considering none of the other employees were terminated?
