No-none (person or institution) has the right to break into the OP's home over a financial dispute unless they have permission from the court or unless they are a certified bailiff who has had access to the property previously.
But I do agree with the previous poster - you really should deal with this debt before you go. If a debtor does take you to court while you are away you may well come back to a nasty shock. How long are you planning to be away for?
