Oh great, what a weight off my mind, thank you so much

Ok, thank you very much for your quick responses - they are really appreciated. I am repaying my UK student loan and they have my address here - so I guess there is a chance that they could find out my address - but they don't seem to have yet and the student loans company has had it for a while now. You've really put my mind at ease about the situations, thanks again

Thanks a lot for your reply! hearing they are of small value in the main is also very reassuring, I"ve been worrying for a long time. If I may ask one more question please, will they affect my credit rating here in NL? Thanks once again

Hi there, I wonder if anyone can offer me some advice please. I am in debts to about 10 different UK companies totalling about 11000, the largest one being about 4000 pounds. All are either catalogues or unsecured personal loans of very high interest. Now I live in the Netherlands, when I left the country I basically ran away from my debts, but they play on my mind a lot and I really want to sort them out. I would really appreciate no negative comments on my actions, I know how bad it is, they are a result of being in an abusive relationship who basically used me in lots of ways - money being one of them. I've worked really hard all my life and I always made repayments while living in the UK, my ex however, never worked and had a drug problem. But anyway, I didn't have much choice in leaving them behind as I was still with him when we left. But now, how do I go about getting on top of them? Where do I start? I'm not even sure I have the contact details of them all anymore. I'm paying off debts he incurred over here first so I'm not in a position to start repaying them yet but I will be in a few months time. I've been living here for a year and none of them seem to have found me yet. What happens if they find me before I get in touch with them? Thanks in advance for any advice that can be given.
