Why are you leaving the UK, I hope it is not just to escape the debt? Trying to get back to the original post.

Did this poster ever come back and even reply to any posts? I like you hope it isn't to avoid debt becasue any debt that is massive is probaly worth chasing down.

I doubt they could even enforce something out of the country, but I would not put it past a collection agency to try.

If it was large enough I am sure they would try but I am like you I don't know how much legal standing they would have. I wouldn't imagine alot or any at all.

Usaully they can not do anything if you are out of the country. Any laws would not apply to you. You need to inform them of this. Let us have a little more information here. Did you leave the country to escape the debt? If you did and then return to the States chance are they then can sue you. In some States they can actually stay the SOL ...meaning stop the SOL if you leave the State let alone the counrty. So if the State you aquired the debt in has an SOL of 4 years and you leave before that it can stop the SOL. Isn't there a way you could try to pay some of this large debt back. I can not imagine a collector tracking someone across the globe unless it was quite a bit of cash.

Hi Pookie
You need not worry about the debt collector if you are out of US because US laws would not apply to other countries and the collector cannot sue you in this new country to bring judgment against you. But if you return to US before the Statute of Limitation expired may may face judgment against you.

If you had a BK, or something like that, I DO think THAT would 'follow' you. Usually if a debt is 'accumulated' in another country, the debt ( depending on what it is) doesn't have any 'grounds' in this country. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks Mary, I have been really worried as it was a complete mishap on my behalf, i was going to pay it n full and get them off my back but have been told by my debt collector frient not to worry that they cannot do anything as they cannot come to my work looking for it and they dont have a home address. i am still worried.

Where was this debt made at? In this country or another. If it was in the US you can feel free to give us the State and date of the LAST payment on this debt and we can look up the SOL for you. Most places only have a few years to be legally able to sue and get a judgemnet for repayment. It goes by State and the date of your last payment on this debt. You can let us know if you want and we would be more than happy to help. it never goes further than here so rest assued we are only trying to help you.
