Hi,
Four years ago I lived in the California with my American husband. During that time I developed Bipolar II disorder and ran up a huge debt alsmost $70,000 in just a few weeks. Because of my illness and my mothers state of health I returned to the United Kingdom later that same year in 2003.
The credit company only ever called me in the UK once, demanding payment which I didn't have, and threatening me with deportation and fraud prosecutions. I have been in remission from bipolar for two years now and in the future my husband wants us and our five children to return to California.
If we return would the statute of limitations apply to the debt or will it only start from when I re-enter california? could they prosecute for me fraud on teh grounds that I had no way of repaying such a large debt? Any help would be most appreciated
