Just pay it. You're going to deliberately run up a credit card debt to pay for the move but have no intention of paying it off. And people wonder why interest rates go up.

Im glad everyone here is so open minded and caring. If this is the response you get for asking for help when in a bad situation then you should feel proud.

Can't see any trolls on this thread by the way, just long term posters giving an opinion, as we are all allowed to do on here

Re: Moving back to the UK with Australian debt
Hi, When we lived in Aus we heard a lot of stores from expats (from all over the globe) who had debts for the most who were not planning to return they did not have any intention of paying their debts and slept at night, I know other expats who struggled to keep up payments after their move and eventually (one person took 7.5 years) to pay off their debts because they said they could not live with themselves if they had not done so, its life fraud is everywhere in this day and age, its obviously up to you what your going to do about it, me I would have to pay if it took me years (yes I am the type who would not be able to sleep...I know a lot though who would be able to) it would be wrong not to pay a debt, if when you do arrive in the UK and gain employment could not arrange for very low payments on these cards and slowly pay them off, it will take time but then you could always return to Aus and also walk with a clear mind. It really does not seem fare people do "get away" with things like this...but do they really, I often think some things come back to bite you.

Re: Moving back to the UK with Australian debt
I forget which bank it was 100% but Bank of Ireland UK comes to mind. A few years back told people they have to repay 100% of what was owed when they told them they moved to a foreign address.
I'm not sure why they did it as if I were in that situation I'd probably tell them to stick it and they wouldn't see a penny.

Re: Moving back to the UK with Australian debt
When I lived in Canada, someone who worked in the same office ran up large department store and credit card debts, and left Canada without paying his debts. Probably he thought he was home free, but he wasn't. His creditors pursued him in the UK and the Netherlands after they obtained judgement in provincial court. Many countries will enforce judgement of foreign debts after a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which the debts were incurred has ruled in favour of the plaintiffs.

Re: Moving back to the UK with Australian debt
I know someone who arrived back from Canada after only 6 months and they did the same thing, took out store cards and credit cards/loans etc with no intention of paying them back, returned to the UK, they have just bought a home here and landed an excellent job in Qatar....there does not seem to be any justice in this world at times.
