How to come back to the UAE if I left with a credit card debt that accrued through time?
Q: In 2010, I was permanently banned from the UAE. At that time, I had a credit card from a bank with a limit of AED 5,000. Due to harsh circumstances, I was unable to inform the bank before being deported by the authorities. I did inform the bank afterward but, due to inflation and my financial situation, I was unable to repay the debt. It has now been 14 years, and the bank is still pursuing me for the outstanding credit card balance, including the accrued interest, which now amounts to approximately AED 143,000. I would like to inquire if I am still liable to pay this amount after all these years, including the interest. I have heard that banks typically do not follow up on such small amounts (AED 5,000) for an extended period. Could you please provide assistance and clarification on this matter?May 21, 2024

My husband left me and my kids without financial support. What can I do?
Q: Good day. My husband left me and my kids. He is British. I’m Asian. He is still in Dubai. I asked him to put in writing the financial support that we would get without divorce as the solution. What document should I process? Also, my kids are British. Is it possible to get my UK visa through them? I only have a tourist visa but not residency as I understand we have to live there for 5 years. I don’t have any means to support myself when we get there. I’m unemployed at the moment and even if I work here it wouldn’t be enough for the 3 of us. Thank you!

Can the employer ask employees to work from home of weekends without paying overtime?
Q: We are engineers working for a company doing technical support for customers. They were asking us before to work on weekends on an on-call basis & we were given compensation even if there were calls or no calls. For the last 4 or 5 years, the new manager removed the compensation if there were no calls on weekends despite us restricting our time at home or not going far or instead enjoying the weekends with personal or family matters. The manager will only compensate us if there are service calls that are chargeable & no compensation if non-chargeable like warranty calls. Is this legal?
