You can fail to pay of a debt because you have no funds (rather then refuse), however this will have consequences, you may be taken to court and this will affect your future ability to borrow money and/or hold a bank account.
If you are in financial trouble you should go and get advice about what to do. In the UK the citizens advice bureau (CAB) will help you for free. The are ways to deal with the problem but ignoring it is not one of them.

Debt retirement refers to the paying off of a debt in order to avoid future interest payments, this can only be done if the current funds available are able to clear the outstanding balance of the debt. Debt forgiveness on the other hand can be considered to be an amnesty by lending institution for countries who are heavily indebted, this is usually done to help alleviate the debt burden faced by such countries. Therefore the difference between debt retirement and debt forgiveness is that one is paid off by the country who is able to pay off the debt and the other is an amnesty given to remove the debt for countries who cannot afford to pay it off.
