    Why can't you continue to pay it off when you move?
  • If you plan to come back you should talk to your lender(s).
    Thinking critically since 1996....

    1. Do nothing.

    2. Post on here in three years when you return saying how you cant get credit and DCA's are making your life a living hell over unpaid debts from 'years' ago.

    That seem to be the normal sketch for people in your position.

    you have not provided enough information
    have you taken a large loan to fund a new life abroad with no intention of paying it back?
    have you been paying a loan for x years with y months left to pay but you are moving to retire abroad, do not intend to work, will have no income so will not be able to afford the current payments?
    Have you spent your money on flights, moving costs and have decided that if they cannot chase you, you will happily just disappear and shaft the lender?

    moving outside the EU? Ever planning on coming back for a visit?

    The Interpol representative will be along shortly to explain how the extradition process works.

    Please confirm which country you will be moving to?

    presumably you are german citizen or have right of abode otherwise you may find you have no right to stay after brexit.

    I have no intention to help you duck out of paying what you owe. Not wanting you back in the UK.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
