Can/ Does your credit history follow you to another country

What is the name of your state?I have lived in Florida for many years. I have recently moved to Europe. I have a 2 year visa. I have some credit debt and I have about $35,000 in student loans.

I want to resolve this as best as I can. I don't know what to do or who to go to...I don't want it to look like I am running away from my debt.

What steps should I take. Should I consider bankruptcy?
Would that hurt my chances of eventually getting permanentt citizenship in my European country that is part of the EU.

What type of lawyer should I seek...bankruptcy and international law...

Can somebody please point me in the write direction....

Thank you

If you're not here in the US, you can't file for bankruptcy. You MUST be a resident and you MUST be at the 341 meeting IN PERSON.

Given the nature of international banking these days, its possible your credit card debt could follow you. I don't know about the student loans, but I can tell you those will never go away, they will follow you to your grave if left unpaid.
