Quick question
 
Hi all.

I'm currently a British citizen who is set to graduate from uni this summer and then hopefully migrate to Australia.

A lot of people have told me that if I go expat by living there for 7 years or more (correct?) all my debts will be terminated. Is this true?

Cheers.

I believe this is relating to the Student Loan (not credit card or personal loans of other kinds).
If so, from memory the paperwork states that it does get cancelled if the ex-student lives abroad for a period of time (7 yrs sounds familiar).

Doesn't state student loan though, just asks about debt. There is no truth to the statement that "all debts are cancelled after 7 years" - depends on the individual lender and the debt concerned.

Wow, I ask a simple question and get slated by a load of fogies who spend too much time on an internet forum.

Thankyou for those people who actually tried to help :) sorry I should have stated I meant student debts aka student loans, and yes they do terminate after going expat.

Bye!
