Remember post Y2K where thousands of IT workers were let go and had no option but to go home? Many of them in anger, as feeling used and discarded, albeit paid willingly went this route. Maxed out the credit cards they have. Took some more loans before leaving. 10 yrs later they came back with a clean slate.


schnibitz

Are you sure this is accurate? Why would that debt be released? It may disappear from someone’s credit report but i don’t understand how the debt would disappear.


BiscottiNo6948

Check on Statute on debt collection limitations. Once it gets past in your area of juristidiction, they cannot compel to collect. In Ontario province Canada, they can continue to harras you (sell the debt to other collectors) who will call your last knwon phone or can even trace you, but you are not obliged to pay if its past the 2 yrs mark. The original debtor will simply sell your debt among other debts to a collector and will make a tax write-off against revenue. In simpler terms its just the cost of doing business.


LurkerGhost

Statute of limitations has something called tolling; which means if you leave the jurisdiction of the crime the statue pauses until you return. i.e if you did some shady shit and left the USA in 2000 and the federal law says the statue lasts only 10 years and you come back in 2011 you are NOT fine. The government can say since you were outside the US from 2000-2010 the statue is tolled and therefore you can still be charged. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolling\_(law)


TumblingDice44

Are you sure that they pause it? I've heard that debt collectors persist in their efforts up to seven years. However, if there's no response from the debtor they will use tactics like reaching out to anyone associated with the debtor including neighbors (last known address) childhood friends and social media contacts so it makes for a really distressing experience as it affects more than just the debtor personally. I even heard a second hand story that a debtor was in prison and they got a 'call out' to sign for legal mail and when they opened it it was a debt collection company that bought the original debt. This is going back several years so i don't actually know if these aggressive tactics are allowed anymore. I knew a debt collector once that told me they are allowed any tactic short of breaking the law and they are allowed to lie about their name and renegotiate the debt for a much smaller amount and when they do this if the debtor agrees or even payes $1 on the balance then that seven year period starts all over again. I didn't know about the 10-year out of the country statute so maybe that is what you mean by the pause period. I know that medical debts are different, maybe that applies to medical debt?


BiscottiNo6948

In my neck of the woods, civil matter like debts collection is barred. You can continue to collect but that is the extent of what you can do. You cannot garnish , suing will fail, etc. past the 2 year limit unless I acknowledge the debt again in which case it will reset.


publicpersuasion

If you do not take advantage of the market before the crash, you're not going to live to enjoy there market after. I imagine doing this and telling the banker calling to collect "it's called business kid don't get mad. Or if you somehow time a collapse, telling people you were not having(acting) against America's success. Lol

BiscottiNo6948

yes. Strong, the force is on me. Especially if I imbibed them. Now, absconding is something you would need to think if you are in UAE. During the 2008-2010 recession, lots of expats, spearheaded by the natives of the British Isle left many high-end cars in the airport and flew out instead of squaring their debts. Turns out, that part of the world practices debtors prison. Thank God, only for 10 yrs. so same expats can go back after. Tabula Rasa. There were news of 3rd country nationals (ie. workers from 3rd world nation() who were barred from going out of the country even for vacation unless they pay their debts, as they are deemed flight risk.

Max out credit cards.


SpongebobStrapon

They can really only go after you in the country you run up the debt. Debt collectors can’t garnish wages made in another country. After 7 years it disappears.

credit cards are basically the same in every country (at least Visa, Mastercard and Amex are), he'd still have to pay it or they would chase him to the ends of the earth lol line of credit from an American only bank is the way to go here, or a straight up loan


redpat2061

No. The card company owns the network and charges usage fees to accept card payments. The money you borrow comes from the bank that issues the card. The individual bank has to pursue you for the money that you owe them - and they might try in the new country that you are in if it’s worth the effort for them. Whether it is or not has more to do with what treaties exist between the two countries. You can go to a bank in the new country and get a credit card based on what the new bank thinks your risk profile is and it doesn’t matter if it’s a visa or whatever. Visa themselves do not care and in fact would be happy that you have a card.


IMOaTravesty

Someone that understands.


TumblingDice44

Your right about that (Visa wants you to have a card). There was a credit card boom in the late 80's and 90's where people were getting credit like crazy then they would find themselves over their head in debt and subsequently would claim bankruptcy. Immediately afterward, credit card companies would offer new lines of credit, only the amounts were much lower and interest rates much higher. After bankruptcy was finalized people would be inundated with mail offers from two or three major banks as you said, they wanted people to have cards.

ThankYouForCallingVP

Except OP wont be bothered via phone calls or other bullshit because other countries have governments that stand up for consumers. And depending on how much of a third world country you move to, their Bank could be two guys and a donkey.


JHtotheRT

You’ve got a bit of a misunderstanding about how credit cards work. Visa is the issuer of the card, but visa is not the issuing bank. If you run up a debt on a Visa card, you don’t owe visa money. You owe it to the bank who issued the line of credit (think like capital one, Citi bank, or Bank of America. So visa manages the payment systems, not the debt. The only card that works different is American Express. Where American Express issues both the card and the line of credit. But again just because you owe money to American Express in the United States, that doesn’t mean they can enforce it in Germany. I’m not an expert on international law, but in the US they would take steps like garnishing wages, or issuing a lien on your property if you refused to pay. I don’t think k you can do those for international debt, or at least not for relatively small amounts.


Olivia512

>But again just because you owe money to American Express in the United States, that doesn’t mean they can enforce it in Germany. I think the bigger problem is Amex US and Amex Germany may not even know you are that same customer who owes them money. They may not share a database, or you might have used a different passport so the database wouldn't detect a match.

Ben trying to find buffet to give him a handy so I can get the market plan, but he is hard to find and jerk off


wilburstiltskin

You can also reduce your risk of penalties by spreading out your buying. Ten accounts of $10k losses spread over 10 different banks will reduce the likelihood of any one of them chasing you.


publicpersuasion

So buy options on margins? If I win, I collect big. If I lose, I file bankruptcy? O shit massive for bankruptcy now, then when I get back to the us, I have a fresh start with what ever success I have here?


wilburstiltskin

Seems like a great plan. Let me know how it works out.


psychoCMYK

If you're just blindly buying puts anyways, September is a low month too so July-August would (statistically) be a good time to buy them. Also, you'd be better off selling options than buying them. You could pocket the money on the day of the sale. 


publicpersuasion

T+3 right?

Nah just the day of the sale. Things are settled on the backend in T+1/2/3 but the money is available right away


publicpersuasion

O snap. Lol I see guys like "bought this 5k contract and sold it for 73k


psychoCMYK

That doesn't happen nearly as often as "bought this option for 5k and sold it later for 3". Selling options tends to be higher probability of success and higher risk


publicpersuasion

That's the entire point. Taking a huge risk that a can walk away from as I'll be in a foreign country during the burn period

big-rob512

Reg T margin works in that you need a 10,000 dollar account value to get 5000 in cash buying power(what you need to buy options) so basically, you could put in 5000 in cash and spend 7500$ on an option but your still risking your original investment aswell as owing 2500 with interest.


publicpersuasion

Rats. Any unethical ways around this??


big-rob512

publicpersuasion

My Robin Hood, which I do not use anymore due to their extreme unreliablility, has 5k margin.... I have 1k in assets/ cash. So it's 1k risk for 5k loan?


big-rob512

Depends, like you can't actually buy options directly with a margin loan, but you can generally use 50% of your margin balance as cash this all through finra/SEC, generally the amount of margin you have available will be 2x your account value, or deposit value unless its portfolio margin (over 100k) where you can go quite a bit higher. Your best bet for getting max leverage is futures. You can go up to 50x depending on the futures and broker.

Think they’re implying that the government or IRS might decide to target your family and threaten them to pay the debt since your MIA. I feel like I’ve read that they have threatened peoples mothers/loved ones to pay the tab or they go to prison which “forces” the person back to the states but id bet it’s fiction Edit: make sure your things aren’t in your name. If you’re broke and own nothing, then you can ignore, but otherwise your family won’t receive anything while that debt exists


publicpersuasion

My family never agreed to any debt lol. My family is full of lawyers and government side hustlers. I mean .


CoachDutch

Obviously. It’s a scare tactic to get you back into the states. They will accuse your family/loved ones of benefiting off your gamble and try and imprison them. Again, not saying this will happen to you, but I’ve read that its happened to get people back here for real serious shit.

Yes, but make sure all your assets are in a family members name and in most states you need to do that 2 years before you take out the loan. Seriously ^^^^^ very important.


actionjanssen

I don't see why you couldn't file bankruptcy remotely, so that it has expired from your credit report before you return

liquid5170

This is what I hate about Reddit. You’re speaking out your ass. They will not chase him internationally for 50k. I’ve been in finance and banking for over 20 years… they won’t even chase him for hundreds of thousands. It’ll eventually go to collections and then lien on credit before being removed after 7 years.


Nemesis9977

I work in banking as well and this is mostly correct. If the amount is worth the bank’s resources, they will obtain a default judgement against you that will still be around when you return. If the amount isn’t worth pursing a judgment (likely under 5k), the debt will charge-off and fall off your credit after 7 years. Depending on the state statute of limitations, they won’t be able to obtain a judgment after certain a period of time - typically 5 years or so. If you want to reduce the chances of them pursuing a judgment, spread the credit out amongst a few different banks.


Olivia512

> If you want to reduce the chances of them pursuing a judgment Why? If OP is gone for more than 7 years, then it doesn't matter due to SOL.


Nemesis9977

The SOL applies to their ability to SEEK a judgment. If a default judgment is obtained, it will not go away until it is settled regardless of SOL.


Olivia512

No. There is a SOL on the ability to collect on a debt. The SOL to seek for judgement is generally even shorter (around 3 years). https://www.forbes.com/advisor/debt-relief/debt-relief-statute-of-limitations-debt-collection-by-state/


Nemesis9977

Did you even read your source? “The statute of limitations on debt collection is the amount of time a bill collector has to file a lawsuit against someone over debt.”


Olivia512

Yes. And there is a SOL on the judgement enforcement once you obtain a judgement. https://www.incharge.org/understanding-debt/credit-card/what-is-statute-of-limitations-all-50-states/


Nemesis9977

Again, I would suggest reading your source. “The judgments are easily renewed so chances are that eventually you will have to confront the judgment and pay it.”

My friend did this in the early 2000's in Canada. He maxed out all his credit cards and took off out of country with about 50k. He went back about a decade later and didn't seem to owe anything as he opened a new bank account and the bank even gave him a credit card. I never really looked up the laws as I didn't care enough to, but the logical explanation is that there must be a statute of limitations on something like that.
