I lived in Sweden in the past but now a legal citizen in U.S. I have student loan in Sweden and they have sent me paperwork to pay it back. I will never move back to sweden and I want to know what happens if I don't pay the loan back. Can they demand the money back through agencies in U.S.? Can they reporthe loan default to credit agencies here in U.S?Thanks!
Hello and thank you for the opportunity to assist you. There might be a slight delay between your follow ups and my replies as I am typing out my answer, or taking a quick break. Please remember that this is general information only, not legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed.If you do not reply your loans, they have the option of coming after you, in Court. Simply because the loans are for Swedish student loans, this does not mean that they cannot enforce them in the US. They can:1) Sue you in US Court, or2) Sue you in Sweden and then register the judgment in the US to enforce it.While they may not be able to report to your credit agency, if they get a judgment registered in the US, it will echo on your credit report automatically.I hope this finds you well. Please remember that I do not get credit for my time with you unless the answer is rated/concluded by you (a bonus is not mandatory but is much appreciated); I work very hard to formulate an informative answer for you – please reciprocate my good faith.

Have you had any clients that had a similiar situation? What are the chances that they will Sue? Thanks?
Hello,I know of cases where foreign debt is pursued in the states, correct. I cannot tell you the chances, but I can tell you what chances help to increase that possibility:-if they know where you are, i.e. if they know you are in the US-if the debt is $5,000 or over-if you have a profession that makes good money.I hope this finds you well.
