Moving Abroad

Hi Guys

I need advise. I am planning to move abroad (Dubai) but having debts here (aprox. £8500 over 2500 just with Vanquis - my biggest mistake ). Obviously I will not have a residency in the UK, but I am still willing to pay my debts off some how. I can not afford to pay it off straight away. I dont really care about my credit rating as I am leaving and not planning to be back in next 6 years or so. I was thinking of leaving the debts too but I am scared of the consequences in future as I will be coming back to UK on work trips etc. What should I do?

Kind regards

Mayo

    It doesn't matter where you are resident, you can still set up a plan to repay. So long as you are repaying, you can't be chased for the full amount. My partner has UK debts and we live overseas.

    Well how else would you get the funds into the country?
