Hello, I was a student in Japan like 2 years ago. Due to urgent health problem, I had to leave Japan suddenly. So I quit my university properly, closed my accounts etc.
But I had around 50k yen credit card debt from JCB.
There were 2-3 months left for the one-year contract to expire in the apartment. That’s why there was a penalty for breaking the agreement, but I couldn’t pay it either.
Also, I have the same problem due to contract-breaking money with Softbank internet. I paid the monthly bills until my last month and sent back the modem to the Softbank properly.
But I could not pay these contract-breaking money penalties and credit card debt as I was broke completely.
Now I want to move back to Japan for work, and want to pay the debts but I’m not sure if I will be arrested or something due to debts. I have no idea how these kinda things work in Japan.
Edit: Is there a way to query all my debts in Japan from outside? So that I might even be able to pay it before returning to Japan.
