This right here.

I used to hear people say all the time that they would just leave the country and their debt would vanish. I guess this story is proof that this thought is bogus. Good luck OP.

I always like it when people skip out on their debts and then get really huffy when the creditors show up and expect them to make good on the promises they made of their own free will.

You would be wrong.....every state has a statue of limitations on debt collection. New Hampshire has a 3 year limit on open end credit cards but most states are 5-10 years.
