Q: Hi Lawyer, I had a criminal financial case for a cheque return from a bank credit card for 55,000 in 2020 and paid AED 5,000 fine penalty from the court to remove the case.

How can you find out if there is a travel ban on you?
Q: Hi, How can you find out if there is a travel ban? My partner has paid off 10% of the fine in Dubai and has been allowed into the country and has residency. But his employer has not paid him for the past few months and my partner is unable to pay the fines and is unable to leave the country. Surely, if he is not being paid and not finding work, he can leave the country and find work elsewhere to pay off his fines. Is there any way to find out whether the travel ban can be lifted?

I bought a new vehicle from the dealership with a hidden defect. What can I do?
Q: I bought a new vehicle from the dealership [-----] and after 5 min of using the car, an alert popped up. Less than 24h later I informed the dealers of the issue. After struggling with them about it, I finally brought the car to service at their company and they have confirmed the part needs to be fully changed. I’m telling them I cannot accept a faulty car and demand either a refund or another vehicle. So far they’ve been less than cooperative.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property?
Q: I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage. As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine. In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this. I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property. I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Q: Dear sir/madam, I owe a bank for a personal loan in Abu Dhabi. I have since left Abu Dhabi. I have contacted the bank and they will not negotiate, however, I find myself needing to return to the UAE. I have had contact with a debt company in the UAE that claims that for a price, they will remove the criminal police case by clearing the fine that was issued giving me a clearance letter, therefore allowing me to return. Is this correct? Can they do this via power of attorney?
