Debtors Prison
I understand if a cheque bounces due to insufficent funds in the bank then its off to prison. Surely, this cannot be on an indefinite basis - how on earth can you raise equity if you are locked up in Dubai with no chance of a job etc.

This girl spent 6 weeks in a very small room with about 10 other woman with a toilet in the corner of the room, no windows and no going outside for excercise! So don't delay those credit card payments and if you can't do that, cut them up!! |

Re: Debtors Prison
Doesn't the person who had the cheque bounced against them (the person to whom the cheque was made out) have to actually file a complaint for the person to go to prison ? Don't think it is automatic, you do get a chance to represent the cheque with good funds.

If this is to be a swift action without giving a chance to the debtor then the government should increase the number of their prisons to accommodate all who have been terminated from their jobs due to economic down turn and can not pay their commitments. Add to this you only have a month to leave the contry.
It´s been that way since last year and so far no one have noticed..:eek: |

Re: Debtors Prison
Once someone makes a case they take you in and if you are lucky they take your passport off you. Once you get to court the only question they ask is did you sign the cheque and do you have the money. If you don't you go off to jail and they bring you back to court every 14 days to ask the same questions. After 6 months they USUALLY let you make an aggrement to pay the debt off but if you fall behind again you are in deep shit.
This was the case when I had some first hand knowlege but it was a few years ago, don't think the law has changed. Mike |
