Credit card debt from the UK - and inability to pay.

[grioghair]

*I am living in the state of Indiana*

I have a credit card debt originating from the UK of several thousand pounds. I have fallen behind with the payments due to our current financial situation. I am working, but it is only a low-income job. One month back the collection officer wrote to me and gave me a date by which it would be sent to collection.

What are the implications of holding a credit card account in a foreign country, but not actually residing there. What is the worst that can happen in this scenario?

Thanks,

Steve

refer to US collection agency

What will happen is they will refer it to a UK collection agency. If you don't pay them, they will in turn pass it on to a US collection agency, and it wil become a Stateside debt. I know; it happened to me.
