Obtaining a PPC from Dubai while being abroad
Q: I want to obtain a PCC from Dubai as I was working in Dubai from 2008 and left Dubai in 2010. I do not have the Emirates ID number with me as I understand that I can do it and for that, I need to obtain a fingerprint card from the country where I am residing. My question is how can I obtain this card and from where? I am in India (Delhi). Do I need to book an appointment in the UAE embassy to do that and get it attested from the embassy as well. OR I can do this fingerprint card from elsewhere. Kindly assist, please! Questions & Answers

How to get a clearance from the bank after paying the pending installments
Q: Hello, I need help with a legal matter. I have a personal/car loan with the bank and I missed 2 payments, July-August 2020 EMIs. The bank informed me they would be filing a case but I resumed the payments of both pending EMIs by paying them. Since September 2020, I have no debts, since I am paying my loan instalments regularly. On April, 27 this year I came to know I have a bounced security cheque which came with a travel ban. It is unfair as I never had any debts in more than 7 months. I provided the bank with all the necessary documents and I signed the new security deposit cheque 1 week ago. They are supposed to provide a clearance letter for the police to lift the travel ban but nothing is happening in more than 1 week and I am losing my job. Please advise me what is the solution in my case and how long does it take for the bank to cancel the bounced cheque and provide the clearance letter. Thank you in advance.
