Q: HI, I was recently terminated from my work on May 1, 2017. I have a credit card with outstanding dues with FGB. On May 10th, I had applied for the credit shield with the bank. On application, they informed me that it would take 40-60 days to get credit shield approved. But it has been 4 months and it's still not approved. The bank is repeatedly calling me for the minimum payment, which I am not able to do since I haven't received any new job offer. I visited the bank collection department and the credit shield insurance company with no proper reply from any. The bank has now issued a legal notice and I do not have any proper reply from anyone with regard to the credit shield. I have been giving interviews and it's only a matter of a couple of weeks before which I might be employed again. My question is, can the bank register case against me when the credit shield application is pending? Also, will the case affect my legal status when new employer applies for new employment visa? Thanks.

Q: What happens if I failed to pay several installments from my personal loan from the bank?  I have not received any warnings or notice to pay, does this mean they filed a case or they must send me a notice first.

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?

س: لقد غادرت دولة الإمارات منذ ثلاث سنوات وكنت قد أخذت قرض من البنك بقيمة 70000 وكنت قد سددت نصفه. لدي أيضاً بطاقة ائتمانية من بنك آخر بقيمة 12000 درهم سددت أصل المبلغ ولكن بقيت الفوائد. وقد أردت التسديد ولكن حدث خلاف معي ومع الوكالة التي أعمل معها وغادرت. أنا الآن أريد الرجوع لدولة الإمارات والعمل بها. كيف يكون الوضع معي وهل الآن أكون على قائمة الممنوعين من العمل أو من الدخول إلى الدولة؟ أرجو الرد
