Using a throwaway.
Five years ago I was working in the UAE, when I was laid off and had to leave suddenly since my visa was cancelled. I left with some credit card debt ($4000) and no way to pay since they only accepted ATM or in person payments.
I am now living in east coast America, my credit is great and make all payments on time. I received a letter from a CA in California last week that they are collecting a debt of $8000 with $17000 in interest. I have sent a debt verification letter but haven’t heard back over the holidays. What do I do with foreign debt at a collection agency? Would the collection agency even be able to report this since it is foreign? How would the statute of limitations even work? I originally moved to a southern state with 3 year SOL but moved after 2 years to another state that has 6 year SOL.
This is very stressful, please help with advice. Thanks.
