Inspection of cases filed for credit card debts and way of settlement
Q: I left the UAE last year with some credit card debt and despite emails to the bank asking for methods to pay from overseas, they never provided the information. They handed the debt to debt-collectors who harassed some people in the UAE telling them there was a travel ban on me. I always wanted to pay the debt, I have numerous emails (to two debt-collecting companies and the bank) offering to do this with a payment plan and yet none of them has responded. My questions: 1. How do I find out if there is a case against me? 2. How do I find out if there is a travel ban? (I would like to return to work in the UAE). 3. How can I negotiate payment with establishments that refuse to communicate? 4. Can I put a complaint into the Central Bank and ask for the debts to be wiped out considering the lack of response to my attempts to pay? Please advise and I will be happy to pay for the appropriate service. Thank you.
