Thanks , thats because i have a account with this bank and they offer me a credit card i just signed a appilication form.

i have one more question. what about Etisalat internet bills?
i heard someone saying Etisalat can stop you since the sponsor is very powerful that they have links with airport immigration. i dont believe this
but does anybody had a such experience in airport immigration??

Obviously, the more companies that would potentially be after you, the thinner the ice you're treading on.

I would check on the Kuwait residency visa too - apparently it has been changed and you now need a police certificate from the last place of residence. Not too sure what that involves but it might be worth checking out the procedure with your new Employer.

You're doing the right thing by getting a job and trying to pay it off. Many, many threads have spoken of how daft the system here in the UAE is and it's true.

Was your Etisalat account paid by direct debit from a credit card? Our Du account is set up that way. Just thinking aloud, cos if it was being covered by an albeit ever-increasing credit card debt, then that is at least one less creditor you have to worry about.

what's the process for getting the police certificate? If you can do that online, say, then it'll tell you everything you need to know.

with a limited knowledge ,you need to go in person with your passport copy or original to nearest police station
they will check it thru computer, if there is any criminal case filed (although i havent signed the security cheque, u never know what might happen , the common sense or rules dont apply around here)
they can arrest me on the spot, this is as far as i know, i dont think you can do that thru online, can you?

and thank you for the tips. it made me realize something
i have no other way but to face it!

really frustrating , i never realize you can ended up in jail for unpaid credit card bill ,say i go to jail for this, after im free then what? you still need to pay for it if im right then whats the point of going in?
hard to get a second chance and time is ticking

am may be gonna take a risk of going to police station and find out once and for all
