An Abu Dhabi court ordered a bank to refund a customer Dh92,854 and close his credit card account after an expert found the bank had charged interest and fees without producing documents showing the customer had agreed to them
The court also ruled that the customer owed no remaining debt on the card and ordered the bank to issue him a clearance certificate. It awarded 3 per cent annual interest on the refund from the date the lawsuit was filed until payment, capped at the principal amount.
Paid full dues
The customer told the court he applied for financing from the bank in 2013 and was given a credit card with a Dh50,000 limit. He said he had paid all amounts due, including sums exceeding the debt, but the bank continued to seek further payments.

October 1
Clouds may be convective by afternoon, in the eastward and southward areas of the country. Convective cloud formation does not guarantee rain, but it means there is a chance of it.
It will be humid by night, and mist and fog are likely to form over some coastal and internal areas. Light to moderate winds will blow, reaching 30kmph, in a southwesterly to northwesterly direction.
The sea will be slight in the Arabian Gulf and slight in Oman Sea.

Convective clouds are expected to form on October 12, in the internal areas of the country, towards afternoon. Conditions will be fair to.
Mosques across the UAE will be performing a special prayer called Salaat Al Istisqaa on Friday, seeking God’s mercy and asking for rainfall. UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has called on citizens and residents to perform it half an hour before the Friday prayer
The prayer will start at 12.15pm in Dubai mosques and 11.38am in Sharjah, almost half an hour before the weekly Jumuah prayers.
But why is the rain prayer performed? According to the UAE's Fatwa Council, Salat Al Istisqaa serves as an opportunity for Muslims to seek God's mercy, renew their faith and express humility through sincere repentance and supplication when rainfall is delayed.
During the prayer for rain, hearts turn to Allah in supplication, beseeching Him to send down rain upon the land.
