ADIB Debt Settlement for Expats

Settling in a new country and living as expats is indeed a thrilling experience. Right from arriving, to completing the process of your stay in UAE, you can plan everything. However, emergency situations can come unannounced in foreign countries, which may lead you to take financial help from lending institutions. 

Sometimes situations can worsen due to global economic crises, such as job loss, after which you may find yourself in debt. In such cases, opting for debt settlement seems the best option. ADIB debt settlement for expats can be a compatible solution to be considered under this situation.

Debt Settlement for Expats

Debt settlement refers to an agreement between a lending institution and a borrower (here expats) where the borrower can repay a certain amount of loan balance. In contrast, the lending institution forgives the rest of the debt.

In case of ADIB debt settlement, you, as an expat can consolidate your liabilities by reducing your monthly instalments. You can make an agreement on a repayment scheme. This process will help you in saving a substantial amount of money and maintaining finances efficiently. 

Let’s take a glance at the common practices lending institutions usually indulge in while settling the debt for expats.

• The financial institution factors in your repayment capacity and scrutinises financial standing and changes (if any, from the time of taking a loan or credit card to the current state). 
• In addition, while negotiating with borrowers, lenders consider present income, chances of adding a co-borrower or guarantor, repayment history, especially history of bounced cheques, current residency status (in UAE or elsewhere), and a number of assets (in UAE or elsewhere) etc.

Lending institutions provide lucrative offers if your payment history shows a positive movement; what’s more! You can also request to postpone your instalment payment(s) within a specific duration.
