BanksYour Ginger Fuhrer froths, "I hate my bank. Not because of debt or anything but because I hate being sold to - possibly pathologically so - and everytime I speak to them they try and sell me services. Gold cards, isas, insurance, you know the crap. It drives me insane. I ALREADY BANK WITH YOU. STOP IT. YOU MAKE ME FRIGHTED TO DO MY NORMAL BANKING. I'm angry even thinking about them."
So, tell us your banking stories of woe.
No doubt at least one of you has shagged in the vault, shat on a counter or thrown up in a cash machine. Or something

Ominous Scum Sucking BastardsI've not had experience of them directly other than having read your posts previous Mr Spimf and I'm sorry to hear that you've had this difficulty.
Let's get a couple of things straight, that you might be able to get on to your Dubai'n bank on the basis of.
1. If they issued you with a credit or debit card that contains either the VISA or Mastercard logo they're regulated in the conduct of the cards not by the laws of Dubai but by the scheme rules of VISA and Mastercard - drop me a line if you want a local contact there
2. Given that the actions of Omnia were performed on a Brit, by a Brit and that your contract of employment was executed (presumably?) in the UK if there's a cause of action then you could not unreasonably claim that a UK court (note: NOT a Dubai court) have jurisdiction - especially given the utterly poor character displayed by Booth and Fuckwad in Dubai.
The idea that these two wankstains, wastes of DNA and oxygen thieves can stick two-fingers up at the legal system is wholly injudicious and defeats the objects of natural justice.
FYI, I'm not a lawyer but it might be worth taking this approach to a legal-beagle. If you're in England / Wales it's possible to kick off a private prosecution in the absence of CPS deciding that they want to have something to do with it.

sadlythe cards were issued by HSBC - HSBC UAE that is, and they are sadly a law unto themselves over there - literally.
your point about contacts is valid but the company were far too well versed in screwing people over - so the offer was made in the UK but the contract Visa's and all that malarky were drawn up in Dubai. If they left themselves open to UK employment law they simply could not exist.
this is worth a read...
