<prompt> Human: Ok so I asked this on ELI5 a while back but it seemed like a lot of guesswork in the answers so I figured if anyone would know for sure it would be you guys.Lets say I as an Irish citizen rack up several credit cards worth of stuff and then move straight away to Canada, what exactly can happen? Also I know some of you guys may consider this immoral but it is not a moral question, just merely an interest in how law applies in this situation so please to and separate that in your answer. Thanks in advance  <response>: Well for one thing you still owe the money to the credit card company, the debt doesnt just disappear when moving across the border. How this is actually enforced will probably differ depending on the exact circumstances.
