I have 90k in student loan and credit card debt currently. I am considering leaving the country. If I left how likely or probable would it be for the creditors to follow me to my new country. I am considering Europe, Austrailia. Would filing bankruptcy before I leave decrease the likelihood they would come after me for the unpaid student loan debt? How effective and able are student loan companies able to collect on student loans? Additionally, if I applied for a work visa in my new country would they be able to garnish my wages? If I were to stay and wait for the Statue of Limitations SOL and debt to be purged then return to work would the creditors be able to garnish my wages? How long does it take for a creditor to figure out where you work?
Thanks for the advice.
