Response to Abroad

from Gordon Bennet (arsenewhinger@hotmail.com)
The law probably allows the lender to chase you in the EU but the reality is that the lender would have to observe the legal process in the country you are residing in. In practice (bearing in mind the likely language difficulty) this makes you untouchable, unless the amount you owe is astronomical.

The real question for you to ask yourself is 'Do I want to go back to the UK before the Limitations Act period for chasing the shortfall debt runs out?'

If you are looking to return before the lender is statute barred, then I would suggest that you try to settle for a minimal amount (after following the advice about strict proof of debt given on this site).
