Dear Ann,

No worries. When you return you’ll stand in the long line at border control for UK passport holders, You’ll flash your passport and in you go. The only thing those folks are concerned about is that you’ve got a valid passport.

Your friend will not be backlisted.

I would suggest that you assume responsibility for these debts and petition for bankruptcy. You can even do this from outside the UK. Click here for help.
