If I Go to Jail in Dubai For Bad Debts Will My Debt Be Cleared? – Katrina

Best of luck to you Katrina… I’ll bookmark this to see the progress of your story.

I recall reading it was similar to the debtor’s prison that existed in the US — as time passes, one’s obligation is reduced. I would perhaps contact your embassy to see if your citizenship can provide you some immunity.

Thom,

No immunity from citizenship. Loads of ex-pats in jail in Dubai for debts, some for years at a time. The best solution in Dubai is to flee the country before you default.

I actually heard of the same thing about serving the term and your debt will be waived as if you already paid them, but doesn’t know anyone who experienced it.

Well, what I can advise you Katrina is to negotiate with your bank cause banks here are flexible when it comes to payment. Don’t deal with the people calling you because they are basically after their commission. Instead, visit one of their branches and ask for somebody to assist you in recovery department.

Just want to share this story to you – - My sister left Dubai in 2006 and left a huge amount of debt in several banks. I won’t name the banks but she owes one of them 19,000 for personal loan and 23,000 for credit card. As she is no longer here in Dubai the debt collectors in our home country are harassing her to pay off, what I did was I visited their recovery department and made an arrangement with them. I told them that I can only arrange 13,000 for my sister as I was also made redundant recently. The Manager is very kind to accept the payment and cleared my sister from her debts. See? It is all about negotiation :)

As you are still working, you might want to show any proof of your current income and explain your financial situation. I am sure they will assist you. You wouldn’t want debt collector agencies hunting you in your home country..:)

Good luck Katrina!!

This is the first time I’ve heard about a successful negotiation with the bank. So did the bank accept 13,000 as payment in full or are they expecting the rest of the total amount due?

hi Steve, i am sooooo sorry for the late reply..it’s already 2010 lol..didn’t get the notification..sorry!

anyway, yes the bank accepted the 13,000 as payment in full. you just have to explain your situation and besides what else the bank can do if you are already penniless? hehe

hi there, im cristine and i used to work in dubai for 1 year. i had my vacation in the philippines last 2008 and never went back to dubai. my problem is i have a salary loan in one of the banks there worth 100,000AED but was able to pay for i think 20,000AED already. I have also 5 credit cards that were not being paid. Is it possible that they will arrest me here in the Philippines and put me to jail for not paying all of those credits? I really dont have a job right now since i went home. There are people who keeps on threatening me through emails. I guess they are agents here in the philippines. Is it possible that they will arrest me here and send me in dubai for prisonment?

hi cristine,

well from what i’ve heard they cannot arrest you in philippines since your debts are in uae. but uae banks have their own agencies that ‘hunt’ people who ran away and believe me, these agencies will pester you, harass you and will do everything they can just to get money from you.

just DON’T LET ANY DEBT COLLECTORS HARASS YOU.

i would suggest that you try to contact your bank and negotiate with them. banks prefer to negotiate with their clients rather than sending them to jail because that would not solve the issue, they will never get paid. however, if you do not have any means to pay them since you are currently unemployed then i guess all you can do is to delete your email account and make a new one :)

[Reply to This Comment]

prison time does not erase debt. although I heard a rate of AED100 per month. however for large debts, you are looking to life imprisonment.

[Reply to This Comment]

Hi all,

Oh yes they do dat in DXB. I am an asian and last year august i landed in Sharjah jail for drinking and driving. I met a lot of people there for bounced cheque cases. I met one Emirati national who had a 150,000 loan. He was given 6 months initially and reduced to 3 months after the appeal. Generally its said 100 DHS is waived off for every day in jail. But never sure how its now cause the jails must be full with such cases. Best thing is u run fm the country before u get a case

[Reply to This Comment]

Its true, if you go to jail for a bank debt it will be waived off. My friend had 47000 dhs and he was given 23 days, then he was out and back to his job. He took annual leave and went to jail. It sounds crazy but this is Dubai. Anything can happen. They have slabs, for 50000 and below its a minor crime with 3 weeks prison, 100000 plus its something like 3 months, but you have to check with inside sources as even lawyers do not know or will not tell you. Jails are too full and they are diverting people to RAK jails etc. so they want people out soon. Hundreds of cheque bounced cases and even previous millionaires are sitting in jail. But beware, if you borrowed personally (not bank) from some person then the sentence is harsh, you have to serve full time till you pay up and if not paid its followed by deportation.

Thanks for the update. It is ironic that someone used their leave, did their time and was then let out. Was your friend forgiven of the debt or do they still owe it?

Dear Steve,
As far as I know some one who spends jail time will be forgiven / debt free but the case is day he will most probably will b in the black list in the banks so dat he cannot get a credit facility.

Interesting. So which do you think is worse, some time in jail or not to be able to get credit again? Is it possible to live in Dubai without credit?

Steve

[Reply to This Comment]

U know its a funny place u c. Just imagine a situation of this nature. Somebody has 5 credit cards of each 10,000 and a loan of 50,000/=. now think one bank bounces a cheque of a card. Lets say he het 2 months jail time for dat. While he is in the jail it is obvious other banks would do the same – one by one as the payments are not coming and the person is not contactable. So what happens is when the person finishes one jail time and the police check the computer again when they find more cheques bounced – ahhhh again he goes in…. So my dear friends…. Run before they catch u !!!!

Hi,
My husband now he is in Dubai jail because of bank debt. Now our company pay already all the credit. My question is, my husband gonna get out automatically or do he still be inside jail for a couple of days even everything been paid off?

Thanks

[Reply to This Comment]

Dear Maileen,

Glad that ur debt is paid off. Even if the debt is paid off your husband might have to stay there for a while untill all papers are cleared. The best thing is that you should contact your lawyer and ask them to push the people inside the courd and the concerned so he can come out. Otherwise he will have to stay even for weeks for the proceedings to get cleared.

Anyway best of luck because ur debt is cleared.

[Reply to This Comment]

Angels,

By now The bank most probably would have filed a police case against you. So the only option you have now as per my knowledge is check the amount ( If several banks – total debt ) pay it fully through a friend in Abudhabi or a law firm – get a clearance from the bank or banks ( MUST ) and then if possible – make sure ur passport number has no other cases -if so inquire and get it cleared and then go there to find a job. Or else they will escort to the jail.No point in giving explanations to them at the air port.They will put u in jail even if you are 8 months pregnant and carrying another infant in your hand. Thats the UAE law. If the banks replies ” no problem – come to UAE” It most probably would be a lie to get you in to the UAE !!!!! S0 thats it I guess !!!!!!

Angels,

As long as you have come to an agreement with the creditor and you are making those payments I would doubt they would file a case against you. However, you need to make sure you have a mutual agreement and not just sending what you think is sufficient.

Steve

[Reply to This Comment]

As far as I know if you have been paying the monthly instalments / minimum amount – you will have no problems. But if you have not done that and you have any arrears accumulated for over 3 months then guess you would be having one by now – the reason being due to the financial crisis thousands left UAE with unpaid debts – therefore the collection departments of the banks promptly file a case to close the files….

Anu

[Reply to This Comment]

My friend is a bank collector. According to him there are certain procedures they follow on collections of overdue payment in the UAE. They try to become rude, unhuman and unreasonable at first and pressure you until time will come that you do not want to answer their calls or even change your number. They will soon document all conversations made in favor of them and present it to the insurance company stating that you are unreachable and is not willing to pay-off or clear the debt by any means. The insurance company will then assign their LOAN RECOVERY AGENCY (one of them is Bilkish Associates) to represent in the bank’s behalf to again call you or your home country for the payment. This will be done several times and for months. If the loan recovery agent confirms the bank’s report that you are unable to pay off the debt by not answering the calls, the bank will soon get the money from the insurance company. As a consequence you will have a police case and soon end up in jail if you are still in the UAE. This happened to my other friend, who owed AED80k from a bank, was not able to pay for 6 months and put him to jail for 45 days. After that his debt was waived off and now has a new job. As an advice, ifever somebody calls you from the bank, give them your email id and it would be better to communicate with these collectors by mail. Be sure not to ignore their mails because it will give you at least some benefits. First, you will have records of your dealings with them on how they want the payment will be made or a request on how you will make the payment. Second, they can deal with you professionally without any harrassment and emotional black mail unlike the way they speak to customers on phone wherein they can say whatever they want. Best regards.

If i go to dubai debt prison this mess will be cleared? I will get 6 – 9 month prison period? I am ready to do this for my family. I cannot run or hide rest of my life for this.

It is a crazy situation indeed. I can’t imagine what it feels like to get fired by email. Doing the time in prison is the quickest way to clear the debt it seems, unless you have a sufficient amount of money to offer as a settlement.

I would find a lawyer in Dubai and discuss the matter with the lawyer.

Please update me as this moves forward so others can learn from what you find out.

Hi ,

For 350k I cant really tell you how long u might have to stay there. Steve, there is another thing we need to take in to account. Not everybody gets to stay in uae even if they serve the jail time. for big amounts of money some may even end up serving 3-4 years + they get deported. therefore the best thing for krishna is to not set foot in dxb again ever – try to get a new passport with a slightly changed name and a new passport number and then find a job in the region except uae…..

Hi Anu & Steve,

I spoke to one loan department person, what he said is one of his known person was in prison for 6 months for 300K Dhs. and he said “it’s depend judge” some judge were very strict and some are soft. as you said may be i will get 3 years or 6 months who knows. he also suggested the same thing what you suggest take a new passport thats it… don’t come back when in you are in india… because if you are in india you are safe. indian government law not allow to harass anyone for the debt. May be they will come and threat you thats it nothing else…. so i decided stay back. Thanks for that friend :-)

I gave only two phone numbers to the bank. That also i cancelled. We don’t have permanent address. And i cannot travel to GCC countries only or all over the world?

Honestly, as nasty as a visit to prison sounds it really is the easiest way out of this mess. Some people are in for as little as a couple of weeks but once they come out, their debt is cleared. One person wrote in they used their holiday time to do the time so their employer never knew.

Hi,

Sounds scary but I guess its the only solution left to get out of the mess unless otherwise u leave the country as soon as possible. Keep aside your self Anna, guess the Dubai ruler itself is in a debt crisis which he cant pay back ( Dubai world case )If possible – try n get out of the country before its too late.

Debty,

The good news is that once your time is done you will not owe the debt. Think about it like bankruptcy, your debt will be discharged.

Your debt does not sound too high that the time should not be more than a couple of weeks.

From what has been reported back to me, jail for debt in Dubai is certainly not the Ritz and it is not the place you want to be, but nobody has complained about being treated badly. I understand their are many foreigners in the debtor part of the jail.

Maybe it could make the stay a little easier if you look at it as research and post a big review of it after your stay. We all need to know more about the inside story.

Big hug.

Just cancel ur visa and get out, the banks would never know unless u have a comapny salary account with them. Noone has even contacted my frind in india, its been 6months since and hes living peacefully.

Hi Steve.. it’s good to know that there’s a website like this. Just want to ask, do you have any idea if how much will be the cost of unpaid debts (credit card) before you go to jail? do we have believe to all threats that we used to hear from legal representatives? do you think that i will be ended up in a jail if i did not pay 5000 dirhams?

Edward,

If you can’t pay it then ask them to hurry up and send you to jail for a couple of weeks so you can leave debt free. It’s not the most pleasant solution but if you do decide to do the bit of time in jail you can leave jail laughing that you beat them at their own game.

You see, in the grand scheme of things, the bit of jail time, that clears your debt completely, is free and gets the debt eliminated completely.

Without any bankruptcy available in the UAE the best advice is to get to jail as quickly as possible and mentally think of jail as a vacation or holiday at a really, really bad hotel and get your debt eliminated for free.

Steve

Generally, if you have missed 2-3 installments they probably would have produced your cheques. How u are gonna know if you have a case is dat at the immigration counter at the air port when you try to leave of enter the country. What they do these days is that they keep your passport as security and release you…. untill you find a job and pay the loan in full – so that you will not leave the country for any reason what so ever. how ever if you have any friend working in the airport you could give your passport number to get it checked if any black marks are there under the passport number. If no is appearing – RUN RUN to your country

I am working in dubai for a company and getting my salary properly.Before I missed so many payments in my credit card,but by 6-7 i am doing it correctly and came to know upon renewal of visa that I have police case on two credit cards.Now I cant renew my Visa bcse of this reason.I speak with collection department and told i will settle my Overdue and plse relase the case but they want the full outstanding which is 15000 AED and 33OOO AED.So i think if they dont want money let them put in jail.Wat can i doo…?

I’am also a victim of recession in Dubai have no choice but to leave the country with a loan of 120,000DHS.I was paying my loan in 4 months after my layoffs while doing freelance job.Still have my visa that time as consideration of my company not to cancel it. My question is how true that anyone who leaves their loan in UAE are possible to go in jail and will catch on their home country? Thanks in advance

[Reply to This Comment]

Hi Everybody,

Its a really terrible time to be in Dubai these days. Especially if youre caught jobless. Ive heard much, much terrible stories from other people- from friends of friends or the sort. I’ve learned a lot from this site, and decided to share what I learned.
Many of the bigger companies here give 3 months salary plus accumulated benefits to sacked employees. However, if you have a bank debt (cards or loan)-even an updated one, the employer is obliged to remit all of this remuneration to the bank to settle the unpaid debt. The employer is also required to tell the bank that the employee is sacked and will no longer be visa-sponsored by the employer. Once this happens, red lights and alarms abound the bank and they WILL freeze the employees’ credit cards and accounts unless you talk to the bank personally…in which case, they will still likely freeze your accounts until you show them proof that you got another employment and will release the money you got paid for from previous employer, less of course the outstanding obligation. Friends,banks in the UAE have been known to be consistently harsh to those who are suffering- unless of course you are an Emirati where thousands of options are available. By all means,lets try to make ends meet without using the damn credit cards.Use them only if darn necessary.If you can eliminate them at all, please do so. The points, rewards, and discts they seem to offer are nothing compared to the peace of mind you will have during rainy days.Dubai is the last place wed want to be if we are down. Locals think of Expats as necessary nuisance so they can live their lives very comfortably. Its a culture/thinking that envelops even the financial/banking system. In Saudi where I used to work, the common reply to an expat when caught in an accident with the Saudi man at fault (as is usually the case), is that “this will not happen if you were not here (in our country)…which is both true…and pathetic.Trust me, Ive experienced it personally. At any rate, UAE is much much modern, but again- discrimination always abounds…Judgment for any particular case and situation is never standard and will depend on the mood of the judge, your connections, your nationality- and sometimes, the team that wins the recent soccer match. I currently have a AED60k loan a few months back to have my house in my home country repaired after a drastic typhoon. Worked, but still aint sure if it had been worth it. People tend to take things for granted, and gamble a lot for comfort. Prevention is always better than cure, for those who had not been victimized by the system, avoid unnecessary debt like a plague…in most cases- you will be suprised that you can if you try

[Reply to This Comment]

James, and others

I’ve also had personal experiences with the people from a number of the banks in the UAE, and they must be some of the most un-professional people I have ever dealt with.

I was in a similar situation to you, but with another bank (NBD), and they sent a letter to my HR Dept, called my parents, etc over 2 missed payments. Unfortunately, I also had debts with other banks in Dubai as well. I’ve also had two banks who called my references, over 1 missed payment.

My total debt was in the region of 250k, including Loan & 5 Cards. While my loan was deducted from my salary, I fell in to the problem of using one card this month, to pay another, and so on. Then, when things got really expensive in Dubai, it got too much – I couldnt get another loan to pay rent, or get another Credit Card.

I tried to reason with a number of the Collections Departments, but as asking to make other payment arrangements wasnt part of the script that they read from, it made it impossible to attempt to fix the problems I had got myself into.

So, I went on a trip, and have never went back. Sure, I get a few calls every now and again, but I generally keep all communication on email, should the situation ever arise in my home country, that at least I can always say that I have communicated with my debtors, and have tried to come to some agreement.

Some other people on this site have suggested that you should go to prison and serve your time, I disagree with that so much. There is no shame in running back to your home country, although there is a recession and it may be harder to get work, I would suggest that before even thinking about going to jail.

At least running, when you get home, you tell people you lost your job – no big deal – its a recession. Tell them you lost your job, went to jail, and then got deported, believe me that will cause you more problems in your home country, than running away from some debt in the UAE.

I dont advocate running, but at least in your home country, you know the system, and can deal with it without the added stress of possibly going to jail.

Good luck over there….

Hi steve,
which is better if theres a case filed for you for bank debts is it to go to the police station or to be caught in the immigration after your company cancel your visa

yours faithfully
jem

[Reply to This Comment]

Jem, Bad scene…..getting caught at the immigration will be very messy. You shall be escorted to the Jail straight away. But if you go to the police now for a bounced cheque case, they will ask you if you will pay now or they will keep your passport as security and will let u out untill u pay the whole amount.

Even if you go to the police they wouldnt let you go. They’ll take u into custody and then only the procedure will begin. therefore you will have to have a friend who will run around to get you out…..( even keeping the passport as security ) Best thing pay it off by any means, get a clearance letter from the bank and then leave…

Anu

For all that you will have to have a friend who’s ready to help you out while u are inside

Anyway its all bad as per my view.

hi steve,

i am alone here in dubai. do you know how the procedure goes. i cannot pay by now but i already have a job waiting in qatar. how long will it take to be sentenced? will it be fast. then the stay in jail will the debt be waived off.

[Reply to This Comment]

hi steve,

I’ve got terminated last 15 December, 2009 but the effectivity is on 1st of January 2010 and the company given me 1 month notice. My visa was canceled already and I have to stay until 26 of Feb. 2010. I have still outstanding personal loan balance in Emirates NBD amounting to 46000 including my credit cards. I already talked to one person in the Emirates NBD recovery department and told me to seek for a new job in order to pay for the loan. I presented my termination paper to him and told me “Sir this paper was useless and will not changed anything in your loan balance or credit cards, eventhough that you loss your job you “must” pay the amount”. What I am asking to him was, How can I pay now that I don’t have a job? All I want is to ask their considerations regarding the payment or waived it until I can find a new job. I am informing the bank through him for some changes because I was lost my job. He was not so considerate and gave me instead the requirements to be submitted when I find a new job. Now, I’ve found a new job but it is outside UAE and in Qatar? This I will be going outside UAE. I came back to him (ENBD)and show my Offer Letter and again he told me I need your passport copy with the new visa page and gave me a Bank Guarantee Letter to be provided by my new company. I went again to my new company and asked the Admin Manager, he told me, this matter is beyond my control and I don’t want to mingle with it. He even told me finish first this problems of yours then afterward you come back and your visa is ready for departure to Qatar. Now my question is, how will I submit my documents to the bank if my new company was refused to make a Bank Guarantee Letter? How can I work in Qatar? The bank guy told me also that there is one more choice to make and it will be to have a guarantor. I should have a guarantor before I leave this country? Is there any possibility to get a guarantor if you are alone in this country?
