Ok so let's dedicate this to the North American peoples that have credit on both sides of the borders.
I'll use myself as the best example:
I was born in USA so I am naturally a citizen of USA, but because my grandmother was born in Canada, I legally obtained Dual Citizenship . So I am also a citizen of Canada.
I have lived in Canada for a year now and have built up my credit to a certain point. However I have 15 thousand in debt from the following companies:
Sears.ca
TD.ca
Walmart.ca
Scotiabank.ca
Zellers.ca
Futureshop.ca
President Choice financial.ca
and am considering moving back to America to go back to school and then get a job as a physical therapy assistant. This job most likely will be at a state government run hospital.
My credit in USA is perfect.
Will my bad debt from Canada haunt me in USA when I finally get my degree and want to get a job as a PTA?
Also, could my Canadian debt haunt me from if I did get the job could my wages be garnished? Or any personal items be repossessed?
