I am in a similar situation with someone else on the boards.

I currently live abroad and do not plan on returning to the US. I left due to a loss of job and alot of debt.
What would happen to me.. would anyone try to arrest me overseas? or would i be arrested upon return? would my wife be arrested? everything is in my name, but i filed taxes jointly.

i have about 20k in credit card debt.

i owe the irs about 4k

and a bank account i had is in the red -600 dollars...

i went broke about a year ago and have no money or means to pay the debt back now.
