Hi,
I was an international student in Australia. I used a credit card, on which I owe almost $8000 now. I had all intentions to pay it off, but my business took a hit. My business is online and I live in a country where I can't find a job due to my visa. I was paying what I could, but now I can't even do that.
I asked the bank to freeze the interest - which is huge, so I can pay off the balance over time. They refused and I feel like my only option is simply not to pay.
My question is - can they summon me to court while they know I'm not in Australia nor poses visa that would allow me to go there? To get judgment by default?
Thank you
