Well, you'd still be held liable for any debts you have incurred, and almost any company can track you to Another Country, where they'd still attempt to collect. The SOL's may not apply to debts deliberately incurred and then defaulted on in such a manner. Entries will be expunged from the debtor's credit report. Likewise, there will be no record of current credit history so and it may prove difficult to restablish a good credit rating under such circumstances. The laws of the U.S. concerning debtor's do not apply outside of the country. However, bank accounts or other property belonging to the absentee debtor can be seized by a judgment creditor.
