Q: I had a difficult financial situation last year, so I stopped paying on credit cards to the bank. As a result, I started receiving calls from the bank's collectors. To avoid their pressure I ignored that calls and eventually I changed my number.
Now, after one year, my situation became more stable, I've got a new job and I am ready to pay the debts. But I would like to know: if the bank has already filed the case against me, would it work if I'll try to settle my debt after one year or I should still go to prison for the delay?

0
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.
عندي سؤالان
شخص أخذ قرض من بنك إسلامي بالإمارات ثم بعد فترة تم فصله من العمل. بقي يبحث عن عمل شهرين فلم يجد ثم غادر إلى بلاده.
هل التأمين يتكفل بباقي الأقساط أو هو متابع بباقي الأقساط؟
وشخص آخر أخذ قرض من بنك إسلامي بالإمارات. وبعد فترة أخذ إجازة دورية فحصلت معه ظروف في بلاده منعته من الرجوع إلى عمله وسداد باقي القرض.
فهل التأمين يغطي باقي القرض أو هو متابع بسداد الباقي؟

Whether it's job loss that may have lead to financial failure or the opposite, one must be aware of the personal liability which will not diminish by paying fines for cheque bounce cases. There are two major types of liabilities, criminal liability and civil liability. Each has its own significance, hence, must be dealt with accordingly.

My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?
(b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not?
Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
