<prompt> Human: So, Ive just finished my second year of studies here in the US and I accumulated a small amount of medical debt 500 because the hospital apparently couldnt find my address before selling my debt to a collection agency. Given the small amount I owe, and my firm plan to leave the US after the studies, what consequences could I face in the next 2-3 years?  <response>: Take some responsibility for yourself. Pay the debt if you have the means.You could easily be denied a cc or rent it its looked up on your credit score.
