Asking an employee to pay for visa costs to get his passport after resignation

Q: Hello, My employer doesn`t pay my salary on time. I had personal problems, stress, and migraine.

After that, I took a medical certificate and urgent resignation letter because of mental stress. They asked me to pay for the visa so I can take my passport.

I left an unpaid credit card. How to check if I have a case against me?

Q: Good Day! I left an unpaid credit card loan of AED 3,000 in Dubai last 2019 (My credit limit is 5,000). Since 2016, I had my card deactivated & just paid the minimum monthly till 2019. I was laid off from work & so I did not pay the balance. As far as I remember, I did not give a security cheque to the bank. Will they still file a case against me? And also, my sister who is still in Dubai went to check if I have a civil case at Muraqqabat police station & was told that my name has no case. Can I rely on the police report? Is it possible that the bank forgives a defaulter like me? Thank you
