If you have the above mentioned debts and live overseas, are you likely to be arrested upon return to the uk at the airport for a visit only not to move back to the uk? I have been told that yes you can be if the collection agencies have filed against you? Please can someone confirm this. Also I do not need any lectures on debt
Thank you.

I'm not 100% up on UK laws...I have enough work keeping up with US laws....
But I think I'm safe in saying no, they will not arrest you.
In the US, the only way that would happen is if the creditor can prove fraud was involved. In other words, you took out a loan with the full intent of not paying it back.
Creditors love to tell you otherwise, just to scare you into paying.

No. They did away with debtors prison a long time ago.
You might be hounded by the collection agencies once they know you're back but no chance of being arrested in this day and age.

Opt for a debt consolidation and be debt free:
Opt for a debt consolidation loan: The easiest method of getting a debt consolidation loan is to utilize the equity of your home. Equity of your home is calculated and determined by the difference in the amount you have paid and the amount you owe. If the amount you have paid is more than the amount due, you can use it as collateral. This allows you to borrow money on lower interest rates. Besides, you also get tax benefit on this type of loan. Consult your tax advisor before opting for this loan.

I think if you owe a certain country money and you leave, the Home Office will be contacted and you will denied access into that country again.

You can be, but I don't know how likely that would be to happen unless you have a huge amount of debt.
