doubtful.

i had this conversation with a friend of mine not too long ago when someone said something about collections and he started rambling off all the ways to fuck with them.

i'm not an attorney, so you can do your own homework

i think what would happen is that they would send you a subpoena to show in court.. you wouldnt and they would request a default judgement and get the judegement against you because you didn't show. thats typically what would happen in the US.

with that, they could then most likely lien assets outside the US, now or in the future.

as i understand, you can simply answer the subpoena and serve them right back (there are probably form letters for this) and file a copy of that letter with the court where they are located. as i understood, this would deprive them of the ability to get a default judgement against you since you responded and requires them to have to push further, spend more etc and actually sue you in court, spending a retarded amount of money which they won't likely collect, which isn't too likely to happen.
