We had this discussion in the past. Immigration will not get involved directly but it may come to haunt you in the long run. Old debts tend to reappear at very inconvenient occasions.
Blaming your employer for your personal purchases?
It doesn't matter at all, you can come and go freely as you wish. Your matter is civil not criminal. You will never get a warrant or be arrested for debt as it is not a criminal act according to any U.S. laws and never will be. I would suggest you speak to a lawyer in the U.S. about it especially if you are being sued as you might be able to declare bankruptcy in the U.S. since you are having financial difficulties right now and get relief from the debt. It can become a criminal act if you miss court dates if you are being sued but not the direct act of having debt, just to clarify. Best of luck to you in the future and with your wedding.
You wont be arrested but I would highly advise you to stop counting chickens before the eggs hatch.
I will never have that problem because I refuse to spend money I don't have.
I will buy a vehicle or real estate on borrowed money but I draw the line there.
Credit card debt is a hope and future killer for those who have little self control. Believing in the lies that employers often tell when they want to "use" you can mess up a life quite quickly also.
The car was paid off in two years. Gave me a really high FICO score. The other items included a home entertainment system in which I paid cash. It was too easy to get credit and for a while things were really, really good! I just fell behind after I lost my job. Good advise from some folks here, I think I will get in touch with a lawyer in California soon. Bankruptcy would only be a last resort!
So why didn't you sell the car and pay back your debt? Just saying. So many people blame everyone but themselves for their debts but they are the ones sitting at home with all the stuff they bought.
No but blaming certain individuals in a company that sobotaged a perfectively good career,... yes!
I am so sorry! You left the US and left legally owed debt behind. Now a new love and you want to return. It is easily possible that your creditors turned over the books to a collection agency for cents on the dollar and that these agencies will use legal means to secure their claims. Please forget the rumor that after seven years debt so to say goes away. Have you read the questions for GC and citizenship applications? Pending legal issues may have an impact on "good moral standing".
