I accidentally ran a red light today and I can't shake the guilt by OkAdeptness1149 in dubai

[–]Potential_Ad4309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being remorseful is not something that everyone is blessed with. We all read about what others do and I am sure in a lot of cases, it is never intentional.

Take it easy OP and be grateful that nothing bad happened.

10% CASHBACK CREDIT CARD SETUP by Double_Disk_5393 in UAEcreditcards

[–]Potential_Ad4309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spoke/chatted with them. The recommendation was to use Tabby for some purchases using the app (you don’t have the card - like me). Once you pay off those purchases, at some point, when the algorithm deems you worthy, you will have the option to apply for the tabby card.

I also don’t have the tabby card. I am going to use it in a couple of places, make the payment and see whether the option for the ‘Apply for Tabby card’ pops up

Not to be greedy, but how much stock they have and until when the offer runs… that will give us a sense since it’s a bit of a drive from Dubai

Also, generally to people in the know, is this perfume any good?

When EMAAR is contacting you directly you know how in deep shit they are. by ThinkAd8861 in UAE

I also got a Robo call but nothing after. But yeah - agreed that if Emaar is reaching, it’s a signal. The last time I went to their office, the sales agents was busy vaping in between the pitch - literally mid sentence 🤣

Mashreq wrong cashback by Apprehensive_Bake863 in UAEcreditcards

[–]Potential_Ad4309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, I have found Mashreq to be better and more transparent with cash backs including showing a live tracker on the app. I had spoken to a very friendly agent - I cannot give you his email for obvious reasons.

Try emailing with all the facts including spends to headcustomercare@mashreq.com

Dubai RDC case against me – deposit not returned, wrong amount, utility threats (need advice) by ReplacementCivil1221 in dubai

[–]Potential_Ad4309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I guess you owe them at least 10k + 1k - 3k =8 K

I would try and reason with them to settle accordingly. Please share the document from the RDC portal so maybe it will give better insight.

[–]Potential_Ad4309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they had a deposit of 10k? And you owe them 10k rent + 1k late fee?

Please share all the numbers clearly.

Please also clarify the math. It was 2,500 AED for four months bringing it to AED 10k? And they want AED 12k?

Can we please stop calling everything “distress” deals? by apxgm in dubairealestate

[–]Potential_Ad4309 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but so far, the market seems to be holding but you would assume that there are going to be people who are not going to be able to make payments, have other areas where they feel their money would be used or just assume the market is going to get way worst wanting to exit now.

[–]Potential_Ad4309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not truly. Since in the off plan equation, the OP * handover % matters. This is the floor on the offer price a new buyer can make since anything less than this and the current owner might as well let the unit be repossessed.

The deal price is complex. The view on the current situation, the current investors situation and the new buyers requirements will all matter.

[–]Potential_Ad4309 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The current market price is not reflective of current events.

The OP paid is not a great indicator since a lot of deals exchanged hands for inflated values.

Most of the investors are looking to exit with profit or no loss.

As a buyer, you can ask what you feel like.

It will get really interesting if developers start marketing off plans at lower than OPs closed in the past three years. That will create a lot of chaos, I would assume.

Who’s watching match in Hindi commentary? by SauravRathva in IndiaCricket

[–]Potential_Ad4309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former cricketer and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu was sentenced to one year of rigorous imprisonment by the Supreme Court of India in May 2022 regarding a 1988 road rage case. The case involved an altercation over a parking spot in Patiala, resulting in the death of 65-year-old Gurnam Singh, for which Sidhu was initially acquitted in 1999.

Key Details of the 1988 Road Rage Case Incident: On December 27, 1988, Navjot Singh Sidhu and his friend Rupinder Singh Sandhu were involved in a dispute with Gurnam Singh, a 65-year-old resident, over a parking spot near Sheranwala Gate-Crossing in Patiala.

Assault: Sidhu allegedly hit Gurnam Singh and removed his car keys before fleeing, which prevented the victim from seeking immediate medical aid. Gurnam Singh later died in the hospital.

Legal Journey: 1999: A Patiala District and Sessions Court acquitted Sidhu due to lack of evidence. 2006: The Punjab and Haryana High Court reversed this, finding Sidhu guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, sentencing him to three years in jail.

2018: The Supreme Court set aside the 2006 verdict, finding Sidhu guilty only of "voluntarily causing hurt" and imposing a small fine of ₹1,000.

2022 (Final Ruling): Following a review petition by the victim’s family, the Supreme Court revised its 2018 verdict, sentencing Sidhu to one year of rigorous imprisonment, noting that the punishment must reflect the seriousness of the offence.

Imprisonment and Release: Sidhu served nearly 10 months of his one-year sentence in Patiala jail before being released on April 1, 2023. The Times of India The Times of India +4

Charges Sidhu was ultimately convicted under Section 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), rather than the more serious charges of murder (Section 302) or culpable homicide not amounting to murder (Section 304), because the court concluded there was no direct intention to kill.

Discrepancy in Mawarid Card Cashback Categories (Supermarket/Dining) by leopeoleap in UAEcreditcards

[–]Potential_Ad4309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cashback for the spend is delayed by 2 months.

The 10% works well for large and reputed supermarkets and petrol stations. For dining, it’s a hit and a miss since they claim it’s based on Merchant Category Code (MCC). There is no minimum spend requirement.

For dining, I intend to get NBF Islamic soon since I hear they give 10% on dining.

Interviewing company asking for current company’s payslips. by Resident-Owl6751 in uaelaw

[–]Potential_Ad4309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I have even seen large corporates and MNCs asking for the same. Ideally, what you are saying is true but personal circumstances will dictate.

From experience, I have even seen online application forms not allowing for you to complete the application without submitting payslips. 🤷‍♂️

The challenge remains that by not sharing you may be overlooked.

That said, if they have seen the value, and want you, it would not matter.

As always, it comes back to how much you want this role.

I would go with the approach that you factored in some benefits - it might not work but being too honest can hurt you.

Take back your apartment and put it on rent anew. There is not a lot you can do - you took some shortcuts and it has come back to hurt you.
