After 8 years, I received a text message on February 19th to pay 86000 before March 13th. I contacted the bank and they aren't passing any clear details. I need help!

Q: This is for my friend. She had initiated a loan through a UAE bank about 2 years back but then she had to leave the country and no loan was processed. Now the bank has told her that the loan has been disbursed and she needs to pay Dhs. 440,000/-. They have even told her that they put a criminal case against her but not divulging any details of the case. They keep chasing her but she hasn't received a dime nor used a single penny. She did have an existing personal loan with another bank which the new bank was supposed to take as a buyout. She has been diligently paying her existing loan with the bank. Even the salesperson told her that the other bank has made a mistake. Since they filed a case against her, she cannot come to the UAE and hence making the matter difficult for her. What can be done in this case and how to resolve this? Please advise. Can she give me a POA to act on her behalf and coordinate and check bank activities and talk to the branch office manager of the bank?

Q: My partner and I are now residents of the UK but while we were in the UAE, there was a company-to-company deal signed with a client. In between the completion of the contract, our company was transferred to someone else in the UAE. This person continued to honor the contract with the client. But now the client is pursuing a personal legal case of misrepresentation in the UK against us, saying we misrepresented facts to their employee and got them to sign the contract. We are mentally & monetarily being harassed by the client. My questions are: What kind of counteraction in the UAE could we take against them for threatening us with legal proceedings and harassing us without any legal reasons and despite the contract not having any clauses against which we did the deal? Also, is there mental harassment recognized in the UAE courts?
