left the UK after 6 years

Before I say anything, I would like to know if you have left UK permanently or not? If so, then you will have to acquire a new credit report in the US and thus UK debt will not cause any harm on it as per the FCRA

If you are planning to return to UK later, then your creditors will issue some notice in your name and take this matter to the court.

There is one more thing that requires attention to the actions of the creditors and the collection agencies. Some of them have their networks outside countries and get information from banks etc. They contact their branches in order to recover a debt from the consumer. So, you should always be careful from this point.

Thanks Ben.
i have no plans to return to the UK and i do hope to settle the matter once i am on my feet again. I don't care if my credit is ruined in the UK as i am not going to return back there though i do feel a moral obligation to pay my debts. thanks for your help.

After your financial position improves later, it will be beneficial to send the money through money gram instead of using bank accounts for this purpose.

Thanks Ben. How come. what can they do to me in the US?

As I said earlier, some creditors and collection agencies have their network outside countries, revealing your information of bank accounts might hurt you in the later stage if they involve in unfair tricks. Money gram will be the best method to send payments for this purpose.
