Question:

What happens if i move abroad and do not pay my credit card off?

Answers:

1) A-10 Warthog + your house = splinters

2) it will go to collections, if it's for a high amount they will sue you. you wont show up cos you are out of the country... ultimately it will show on your credit.....

3) Theyll find you. Theyll take your stuff and youll be under bad credit.

4) You will have bad credit

5) if you're not planning to return then you'll get away with it just as long as you're never going to use a credit card again or deal with U.S. banks again. At the same time; all those things you own will get repoed.

6) you are a tight ass

7) they'll tow all ur cars and use it to pay it off, ima serious, same goes with bills

8) Your credit turns to shit. Same if you go into outerspace.

9) It would definitely damage your credit, probably your ability to open new cards in the US. I also know companies can sue you. I don't really know what the consequences are abroad, however. Visa, for example, is a global company, so it would follow you regardless... I also think

10) You will probably be ok. You would have to pay it if you come back. When you cross borders legally, they ask you how much money you have, and what your plans are in their country, and so forth. Maybe you should cross borders illegaly if you have no money. I tried the whole refugee thing, and nobody in the whole world is accepting american refugees right now. Maybe if we had gone off 10 years ago, we'd be ok now, but I kinda think we're stuck here. Good Luck. oh and good night

11) Then you're running away from your problems. One day when they catch you (and they will catch you), you will then owe tons of interest. If you're having trouble with it, go to your bank/credit union and try to get them to take the debt as a loan. They will have much better interest rates and a payment plan that will suit your needs. Or if it's really bad, go bankrupt. But don't run away. And don't get another card.
