How can I settle the amount post-dated cheques with suppliers if I cannot pay due to losses?
Q: Hi, I had issued 3 PDC cheques worth AED 181,000 each and 4 PDC cheques worth 111,000 each to 2 different suppliers. I suffered some losses and hence was unable to pay. The company is in my wife`s name. I need some time to settle the debt but they don`t want to give me more time. How can I safeguard my company and family? Also is there any law where I can get time to restructure my company unit and then can get protection against all debt-related legal implications?Jul 12, 2022

How can I reach a settlement for unpaid rent with the landlord to lift the travel ban?
Q: Greetings, I have a rental case opened against me due to failed rent payments and bounced cheques with the flat since August 2021 based on failed business. I had received a court order and a fixed amount to pay the amount in 5 installments. After that, I lost my job. And after contacting a typing center on my rental dispute case, I learned I have a travel ban and an arrest warrant. Even though I had the intention to pay, I had gone to the management with half the amount earlier before the enforcement case was opened and they refused negotiation. Until now, I haven`t been able to secure a job because I can`t get a cancellation from my previous company and I don`t have better means to pay the initial amount requested for the first installment. Please, what can I do to at least get my name off the system to find a new job? And how much out of AED 35,000 must I fulfill to lift the ban or arrest warrant while I settle the balance instrumentally? Thanks.

Can the bank file a case for bounced cheque after six years?
Q: Hi! I have a bounced cheque in 2016 however, the bank has not filed a case against me. I am not sure why though, as I have checked with the police station and they said that my record is clear. Recently, I have been receiving calls from a debt collection agent and he is threatening me that a case will be filed immediately if I don’t agree to settle. My question is, can they still file the case even though it has been 6 years since my cheque has bounced? Hope someone can answer, please. Thank you.
