Debt collection in Dubai proceeds smoothly with legal actions.  In the UAE, if the debtor disputes the debt, the debt collector can’t take further action to collect a debt.  He/she must stop connecting with the debtor for the further process until he/she provides all the detailed information to the debtor.

It would be better for the debt collectors in the UAE to give detailed and certain info about the creditor to the debtor in their first communication.  This way, the debtor will learn about the creditor’s name and company.  If the debtor receives the right info from the right person, then the debtor needs to respond to the debt collector within a week.  Otherwise, it can give courage to the debt collector to become more harsh and impolite to him/her.

But if the creditor’s info is not provided by the debt collector, the debtor can give a response to the debt collector along with a dispute.  If the debtor doesn’t respond to the debt collector or dispute the debt within a month of the first communication, the debt collector will assume that the debt is valid.  It will become easy for the debt collectors to recover the debt that the debtor owes.  The debt collectors will try to pursue many other ways for debt collection in Dubai.
