A real estate company refuses to refund booking fee, what to do?
Q: Hi guys, Please help me! I am a young lady just trying to make ends meet, but I was scammed. I saw a flat that I wanted to rent, so I contacted the real estate company and went for a viewing. I paid an AED 8,190 booking fee, which was refundable if they did not honor the deal. The day to sign the contract came, but I was given excuses. I requested my refund and was given a check that the bank rejected. I reported this to Dubai Land, and they contacted the company to pay me back. I received AED 4,000, but they still owe me AED 4,190, which I really need back. Dubai Land said I must contact a legal advisor, but I cannot afford one. Please advise me on how to go about this situation. I would appreciate any help. These guys have since resorted to ignoring me. I have a copy of the receipt, the check, and the emails to support all of this. Questions & Answers

كيفية إلغاء إبعاد إداري
س: السلام عليكم، عملت مدرسًا في الإمارات لمدة 33 سنة ولم تُسجَّل ضدي أي مخالفة وسيرتي الذاتية في الدولة ناصعة. فوجئت بقرار إبعادي إداريًا بدون أن يبدي موظف الجوازات أي سبب. أبلغني أني مُبعد إداريًا لمدة عام وأنه يمكنني تقديم استرحام وأخذوا لي بصمة العين. حتى الآن لم يردوا على طلب الاسترحام ومكتوب على الموقع "تحت الإجراء" رغم أنه مر على تقديمه 4 أشهر ونصف. أخشى أن يكون إبعادًا نهائيًا لأنهم أخذوا بصمة العين. سؤالي: إذا كان إبعادًا نهائيًا، فمَ الذي يمنع موظف الجوازات من إبلاغي؟ بمَ تنصحوني؟ Questions & Answers
