JEDDAH: Dina, a 31-year old Saudi businesswoman, came recently to Riyadh with her American husband to conduct some business affairs, but when she went to rent a car she was faced with a conundrum.
'I called up Budget. They asked if I needed a car with or without a driver,' said Dina with a smirk on her face. She explained to the agent that her husband, who has a driver's license, would be driving the car. But he has no valid iqama with which to rent the car.
'So I told the agent: 'What about renting a car with a chauffeur?' He said I needed a letter from my mahram delegating me to rent a car under my name. Now isn't that confusing?'
That too required her mahram to have his visa papers in order, which at the time were still being processed. So she and her husband had no choice but to do business in Riyadh via taxis.
Compare this experience with that of Lina Abdulkareem, a 38-year-old marketing executive. She managed easily to purchase a car without permission from her legal male guardian


everywhere like snowdrops in the spring, offering to solve all your problems at a stroke.There are two great lies regularly sold to those in debt. Firstly, you are told your worries will be over if you roll all your loans into one new consolidated debt, thereby cutting repayments.The second is that by selling your house to a mortgage-to-rent company, or a rent-back scheme, you can stay in your own home for life, clear your debts and start afresh; all in the space of a three-minute phone call.The truth is somewhat different. Rather than solve your problems, opting for the first can make it more, not less, likely that you will lose your home, while watchdogs are becoming deeply concerned about the activities of private mortgage-to-rent schemes.The Office of Fair Trading is currently investigating the way they operate and is due to publish a full report in October after a range of bodies including the housing charity Shelter, the Citizens Advice Bureau and the Council of Mortgage Lenders called on the Treasury to introduce laws to control their activities. With debts, the important first step is to prioritise them. You must pay your council tax or you could go to jail. Then you must pay your mortgage or rent or you could lose your home. Next come gas and electricity, because you could be cut off.But the bottom line with credit card and other personal loans is that there is very little lenders can do to recover this money
