Paying off debt will help you get a lower rate when refinancing. Keep in mind though that even after you have cleared up debts, they still remain on your credit report for a period of time (varies by state I believe). The sooner you can get them cleared up the better it will look. It might look strange if you did it 1 month before you refinanced. Not to mention it takes a while for it to be recorded as paid since the creditor has to submit it to the credit agencies and then they have to update their files. Figure a minimum of 3 months to get everything recorded. Also keep in mind that the credit Bureaus file should indicate accurately both the correct date of first late payment of that issue and the correct date for repayment of the issue. The 7 year reporting cycle is based on the first occurence of the lateness for the issue in question.

I believe you do. The debt collections agency can locate you via your passport tracking. A more viable solution would be to get debt consolidation and minimize the amount you pay back, and pay it off before you leave.
