Credit cards when overseas

firsttimeabroad

Hello, need a bit of advice! I am moving overseas soon and I have a few UK credit cards and loans. (Part of the reason for moving is to pay them off sooner!)

My question is do I need to tell the companies involved I will be moving overseas? My payments will continue to be paid from UK bank account each month and I have no intention of defaulting.

I am worried that if I tell them they may try to make me pay back the full monies owing before I leave which is absolutely impossible!

Again let me reiterate I am not 'running' away from this debt I will pay every month by DD!!

Really appreciate your thoughts!

Hi

You need to think what you will do about your post. Will you have an address in the UK you can use? if not then you'll need to give them an address abroad. I imagine if you do they may stop your ability to use the cards but let you carry on paying as you are.

I have got a UK address I can use so will look into that. Must admit the main aim is to pay them off and not use again so wouldnt be the worst thing if the companies wouldn't let me use them abroad if I registered an overseas address! thanks for your help!
