The idea of moving abroad to escape debt seems to be more of a common practice these days. People who have failed businesses or are swamped in debt believe that moving abroad will give them a fresh start and allow them to build a new life.

Reading some ofrepparttar comments on various UK debt forums opinions on this seem to be divided. Some people think running away from debt is too much of a risk, and creditors will eventually catch up with them whilst others encouragerepparttar 112258 idea, stating that there is no way you will be found and people should move on and enjoy a new life free fromrepparttar 112259 responsibilities of debt.

Inrepparttar 112260 past this might have been a successful way to start a new life withoutrepparttar 112261 worry of unpaid debt. However, creditors and courts alike seem to have caught up withrepparttar 112262 idea overrepparttar 112263 last few years and have taken action to make it more difficult for people to escaperepparttar 112264 responsibility of payingrepparttar 112265 money they owe.

Creditors taking action

Germany and Canada have reciprocal agreements withrepparttar 112266 UK when it comes to tracing debtors and debt collection practices. There is not much information available regarding other countries with such agreements although a search onrepparttar 112267 web may reveal more, it is possible that creditors do not want this information to be readily available.

A reciprocal agreement inrepparttar 112268 UK means a UK Court can enforce a CCJ (County Court Judgment) usingrepparttar 112269 legal system ofrepparttar 112270 other country. If there is no such agreement in place, a creditor can sell a debt to an agency inrepparttar 112271 relevant country and debt recovery procedures will commence underrepparttar 112272 law of that land.
