UAE Debt being Chased in UK

[Romanesque]

Hello, I have outstanding debt in UAE and have had IRDWW sending fishing emails. Should I respond ?

Also, has anyone used the services of the well known debt negotiators to manage this? Thanks.

I have an outstanding UAE bank loan and credit card debts and am not in a position to settle these. I have been sent chasers by IDR via email and post. What are my options?

Does anyone have any experience of using the well known debt negotiating agency that is often in the news and seem to specialize in UAE debt matters? 

 

Also, how can I check if I can travel abroad as I am told that the UAE banks are notorious for using Interpol to classify debt as fraud and having them issue Red Notices.

 

Thanks.

Please dont get conned by those websites, all they do is cost you money and are in bed with the banks.

 

And we've not seen these interpol issues in many years.you are reading old stuff designed to frighten you and gander these fleecers money..dont!!

 

have you written to the bank updating them with your correct address?

you should do.

Thanks DX.

 

Yes, it definitely is scary to read that Interpol is used as a debt collection agency by the UAE. I have asked other law firms about what my options were in order to check with Interpol for Red notices issued but they are charging exorbitant fees. 

 

I have not been in contact with the banks as I did not want to get harassed by them due to an inability to pay. 

 

Also considered going down the bankruptcy route but not sure if that can be applied to UAE debt.

Ok listen

youve got almost everything thinking wise wrong.

forget about red notices

forget about going bk

forget about using scamming solicitors.

 

you simply inform the original creditors of your correct and correct address.

 

you ignore the silly debt collectors and their solicitor mates.

nothing they can ever do. A dca is not a BAILIFF

and only the original banks can do court etc.

 

there are 100's of uae threads here.

i suggest you get up to current speed and read them.

 

stop panicking and read crap websites and forums

stick to cag only.

If you live in the UK (England & Wales) then they can go after any assets (home etc). If you live in Scotland or abroad best ignore. If you have a house in England/Wales I would try negotiate with the bank directly. Ignore the DC.

Thanks. I do live in England but do not own any property.

 

I have not heard from the banks for a while so will go back to them to see what they can offer.
