I moved to Sydney from Birmingham(U.K) last October and have been working fulltime since. When I left the UK I owed some money on my laptop that I gave to my exGF and she promised to take care of the money I owed on it (about £387) but she didn't, so the bank (HFC bank a part of HSBC group) have been sendin me claim letters for the past 6 months because I have an active current account with HSBC, UK and they have my address in Australia. However the letters arrived too late for me to take any serious notice about paying the debt off. (like 10 days past the 'pay by/contact us' date)
Recently they sent me a letter saying my account has been transferred to a firm of debt collectors in Australia. Would this affect my credit rating in Australia?
