Hello,
In 2007, I left Dubai with unsettled debts and am now considering a return next month owing to a compelling job proposition I've recently received. Prior to making this decision, I conducted a thorough legal check to ascertain if my name had been flagged by the police or if I was subject to any travel bans. Thankfully, there was no mention of my name, nor any cases against me. Furthermore, my cousin, having ties with a senior officer in the CID, affirmed this. However, curiously, when I had him make the same enquiry last year, there was a case noted against me. Might this be because these loans are over 15 years old?
To provide a clearer picture, the outstanding sum is approximately AED 290,000, encompassing various loans and credit card debts:
Since 2008, I've been approached by debt collection agencies roughly four times. Yet, their attempts to reach me have been sporadic, despite my social media accounts transparently displaying my current living and working location.
Could anyone provide insight on this matter? My main reason for liaising with the police was to identify which bank had lodged a case against me, enabling me to address and clear the loan.
Thanks

- AED 180,000 from a personal loan.
- AED 45,000 from a car loan.
- The remaining balance is distributed amongst five credit cards.
