Hi all, I recently received a similar letter but cant remember who from as it immediately went in the bin. From my side. I fail to see how any court in the uk can condone demands for money from any UAE bank, albeit via a uk debt recovery agency or not when they the lender has acted unlawfully in the first place. I paid of a chunk of around 3,000 pounds/18,000AED from one of my loans in Dubai in preparation for leaving and returning to the uk. However, my job was extended a few months longer and when i finally requested a settlement figure from the bank the statement they issued had no trace of my over the counter payment some months earlier despite the fact i had a receipt from the bank. when i queried this, i was told i must pay the full amount and if any over payment was made it could be refunded. Obviously i told them where to shove that idea and continued to ask for an accurate statement that reflected all my previous payments. They refused to account for the whereabouts of my three thousand pounds so i refused to make any further payments. needless to say, they immediately threatened me with imprisonment. I fail to see how the British court system can facilitate such behaviour by a financial institution.
