Informing Debt Collectors of Change of address... does it delay your debt going to statute barred?

You're in debt, no plans to return to the UK, use a service to get your post and want things to default with the long-term aim of them being statute barred so you don't have to pay them.

If your previous address(es), when you took the finance out, are not friends / family addresses, the next thing to do is weigh up the risk:
- of any court action,
- research to see if any of the providers / debt agencies have a history of issuing court proceedings and enforcing them in your new country,
- whether returning to the UK to live would happen due to splitting up or change of family members health etc,
- if there's any impact on new life / job due to having a CCJ / creditor bankruptcy in a 'foreign' country;
- anything else to think of / research while undertaking the above risk assessment.

It's not as if border control stop / arrest people for having a CCJ etc when entering the UK.

It's not the answer to your question, or thought process, but why even give it a second thought? Move on with your new life, if everything stacks up.

Yes indeed, this is exactly my line of thinking! And having weighed up all of the above, I am indeed intending to do just that. My life is here now and I have zero intention of returning to the UK.
