No I am not a t all familiar with Australias debt collection laws. I don't know if maybe you can find some info on the net but really I don't even imagine you have to worry. They can not enforce their laws here in the United States so just stay out of the country and you should be safe. You could google Australia collection laws and see what comes up...just a suggestion.

Hi Pookie
Australian and US laws are not the same. However, if you were in Canada, the debt collector could have reached you to collect the debt. But since you are in Australia, there is no chance to get chased by the creditor. The creditor may have his office at Australia, but it is for the debt which you will take in Australia and not in US. However, if you get back to US before the expiry of the Statute of Limitation period, the creditor can bring judgment against you to collect the entire debt along with the interest.
