What happens if you leave the country although you have an outstanding debt?

My Ex-boyfriend was studying here in the U.S., he had a student Visa.. he started to get credit card offers in the mail and he applied for them. To make story short, at the end of 6 years when he finally finished school, he had accumulated about 25,000 to 30,000 in credit card debt. He paid the minimum payments but never actually paid the debt. He also signed up for different cellphone companies that gave him free cellphones, and he made long distance phonecalls to his country that would come up to 3000 worth but never paid a dime. Bottom line, 7 months have gone by since he left back to his country since his student Visa expired. Will he get away with this? What will happen if he tries to apply for a visitor visa to the U.S. ? He said he had spoken to a lawyer about this and apperantly it wouldn%26#039;t affect anything since it was only credit cards, not actual cash. Is this true?

If he owed one person that much, they have have the incentive to try and locate him...but they rarely go after people out of the country. The legal costs is just too great, and just trying to locate them is a problem. Then, once they locate him, take him to court, win their judgment...then what?

And no, they do not stop people coming back into this country for civil judgments.

He should not worry, there is nothing really that those rip off credit card companies can do. He is free and clear as long as he is outside the United States. Even the US government cannot touch him, because owing money is not a crime.|||depends on how hard the creditors want to be

especially the cell phone companies -- if he never paid anything they can allege that he never intended to, a form of fraud. If they can then get the DA to file a fraud charge, your ex-bf won%26#039;t get a visa to return.
