I am sick to death of writing and speaking on the phone, to be put on hold by some halfwit who doesn't know what they are talking about and should be stacking shelves in Aldi.
The last phone call lasted 48 minutes.[/QUOTE]
Gee whizz. I can imagine your frustration with that one.

Or do you not have a thought for the people that you leave behind - rellies, friends and the like? we have to mop up your selfish acts by absorbing higher taxes to cover your deceit !!!

Anyway it was highlighting how successful the UK has been at tracking down and securing payment of student loans given to people who then moved overseas for work. It was comparing this to Australia and how they are apparently thinking of making changes over here to enable them to collect in much the same way. If I can find it I'll post the link here...

You didn't think that grubby Little Tone and Gorgon were going to let anyone away with owing the gov money did you?...gee it would be such a waste if they missed the opportunity to waste every possible pound.

Suppose what I'm saying that if you do not divulge your forwarding address in Australia to any company or agency in the UK then the liklihood of you ever being traced is nil to nothing.

Really get me aggravated!
Uncouth comments should really be kept of this forum!
Unless you have been in the position of breaking point you have no idea how it feels and what you would do in that given situation.
Of late the banking system in the country has come under alot of scrutiny... recently watchdog made a documentary on how banks actually entice you to take out loans and credit cards knowing full well in some cases single parents families are struggling to keep there heads above water.
They give these people loans and cards in the full knowledge that many cannot afford to pay them back....
However it looks good on Sales statistics.....
Many banks and employees are in the process of being investigated as we type and have this discussion.
If these financial institutions knowingly trap desperate people I think they get what they deserve!
I am not saying someone with no principles that knowingly takes out loans with the full intent of not paying it back should get away scotch free!
However no one knows the majority of why people skip the country!
Unless you are aware of every circumstance, and have been in similar situations.
Who is anyone to really pass judgement?

I think you should remove the name of this guy who gave you professional but personal advice as I am sure he did not expect it to be placed on an internet forum...a bit unfair I think.
