Across borders.
Close to your case.

An overseas customer should not mean an unclear next step. We coordinate documents, communication and local specialist input around the jurisdiction that matters.

Confidential handlingRelationship-aware recoveryA clear next step

Local rules. Connected work.

Cross-border recovery begins with where the debtor, assets and evidence are located. We review the starting position and coordinate the next step with suitable local partners.

A foreign judgment is not automatically enforceable in another country. Recognition, jurisdiction, notice and document requirements can affect the available options. We help organise the file for specialist assessment before formal action is proposed.

International debt recoveryUnderstand the route before crossing borders.3 answers
Can you pursue recovery when the debtor is outside the UAE?

Potentially. We first review the debtor’s country, contracting entity, documents, currency and any jurisdiction clause. Local partner availability, procedure, assets and likely costs shape the route. International coordination does not mean that the same remedy is available in every country.

Can a foreign judgment be enforced automatically in the UAE?

No. Recognition and enforcement depend on the applicable law, relevant treaties and the facts. Jurisdiction, proper service, finality and public-order requirements may matter. We help organise the judgment and supporting documents for assessment by an authorised practitioner before a formal route is proposed.

What should I prepare for an overseas claim?

Provide the agreement, invoices, full debtor identity and known location, payment history, correspondence and any existing judgment or proceedings. Identify relevant deadlines and law or court clauses. A local specialist can then confirm translation, certification, authority and filing requirements.

INTERPOL, fraud & civil debt: know the differenceAccurate guidance for cross-border concerns.3 answers
Is there an “INTERPOL debt collection company”?

INTERPOL supports international police cooperation; it is not a private debt collection service. Ordinary invoice or tuition disputes generally follow civil recovery routes. Al Ittihad does not act for INTERPOL, issue notices or promise international arrest. A genuine suspected offence needs separate assessment by competent authorities.

Reference: INTERPOL · Red Notices
Can a collection agency obtain a Red Notice for an unpaid debt?

A private agency cannot issue a Red Notice. INTERPOL notices are published through its official procedures at the request of authorised national bodies. A Red Notice concerns qualifying criminal proceedings and is not an international arrest warrant. An unpaid debt alone does not make a case eligible.

What can I do if the matter involves suspected international fraud?

Preserve the transaction records and seek legal assessment of the facts. Suspected crime should be reported to the competent local police, who can use international cooperation channels where appropriate. We can coordinate document preparation and referral to MAE or suitable legal practitioners; non-payment alone does not prove fraud.
