Zhenya has a friend who just told her a story (another scary story from a friend) of a man who was not allowed to leave at the airport because of his credit card debt.

Z has about $3K of CC debt - I plan to finish paying that off after all of these expenses are behind us...

Should this be an issue at any point of her departure? It doesn't seem like it to me, but I told her I would ask here.

Thanks!

Not sure about Russia but I know here in the DR they do, do what is called impedimento de salida. It can be done by anyone you owe debt to that is willing to do the paper work and yes it will prevent you from being able to exit, as it comes up when your passport is swiped going through customs. There are ways to have this checked, although I am not sure how in Russia. You will have to research this.But if she thinks this may be an issue check into it as you don't want her to be in the airport and get turned away because of this. Before you just opt to pay the bill of now, check because it may not be that simple to remove. Best of luck to you.

If it becomes clear that Zhenya must clear the cc debt before leaving, she may be able to go to the issuing bank with an agreeable relative and assign the debt to the relative. Then, you can send the payments to the relative until resolved. Suggestion came from my wife who is from Ukraine.

Having a credit card debt in and of itself is not a problem. If she is behind on paying this (or any other) debt and it has been turned over to the Federal Bailiffs Service then she has a problem.

It is easy enough to check if she is on the list---

Search this site--- if she does not show up then she PROBABLY will not have any trouble leaving the country (at least as it relates to this issue). If her name IS on the list, then she's not going anywhere until the issue is resolved and/or the name is removed.
