Has anyone done this
 
Hello All

I have aloan back in the UK and there is two years left to run. I am about to move house here in Oz and wondered if anyone has oops forgotten to pay their loan and just done a bunk on the payments? I am not considering going back to the UK, even for a holiday in the next so many years. So if anyone has done this can you give me your thoughts?

Many thanks

yawn


if you do a search you will find this topic has been done to death and there are many different oppinions. But my thoughts are pay it, otherwise you will always have the worry hanging over you - just not worth it.

a friend of mine did this. Left a CC bill of a couple of grand along with a couple of hire purchase debts outstanding.

He hasn't heard anything form them in the 5 years he has been in oz.

How he'd do getting credit back in UK i don't know...

Well I can tell you that the Inland Revenue now persue you to Australia, find out where you're living and send you a letter to tell you that you owe them money from their over payment of Family Tax Credits.... so if it's the UK gvt, pay the money and leave with a clean conscience.

Jeez nice first post. You could have only have spiced it up more by mentioning the war and Adolf Hitler I think.

Do a search if your not too busy trolling this afternoon under a bridge somewhere.
