Hello, I have lost my well paying job and been looking for a new one for a long period now but it seems that the system has spit me right out. Of course debts started to pile up and now at at the point that can’t even make minimum payment. Up till today no late or missed payment. The problem is if things remain the same, we will have to go home, but in this case without the ability to repay all the debt which I understand will results to severe consequence preventing me from the possibility of coming back here even again unless the debt is settled. 2 questions I have; 1- if i change the passport to a new one with different number, can they find out it is really me?? or is it linked to the eye scan? 2- Since the debt could be unsettled, some of the credit cards i have, i got cards to the wife, would this cause any future problem for her, meaning, if an arrest warrant or a blacklist is issued god forbid, would it be me only or also her.
Many thanks Frankie

Sorry to hear you lost your position.
Changing your passport number will not help you. You probably have a National ID has your bio metrics in a data base which may be accessed at the airport or any boarder crossing station.
Your creditors will contact the police and you will be prevented from leaving the country as non-payment of debt is a criminal offense. Further you will be barred from employment in the UAE.
I would suggest you may want to consider leaving as quickly as possible before you are reported to the police. You may also be contacted by debt collectors when you reach your home country.
It is unfortunate that this happened to you but it is a serious criminal offense in the UAE,
