No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Hello,
I was International student in US since 2010-2015, and during this period I got SSN and credit cards. The credit cads were closed as a bad debt because I could not pay it that time, now I am in my country and I was just wondering if this would cause me a problems in the future if I want to visit the US for work or living there. the total debt is about 15k.
I appreciate your help
Those negative accounts will stay on your credit reports for at least seven years and will make getting new credit difficult.

Can you clarify please?
Debt is civil, not criminal, so NO, you will not be arrested for it, at the airport or anywhere else.
The creditor could, provided the debt is still within the statute of limitations in the state they bring a civil action seeking a judgment, file a civl action seeking recovery.
However, as stated in earlier responses, debt is not a criminal matter in the U.S., so you will not be charged with a criminal offense or arrested.
The effects could be entry of a judgment into your credit report.
Once the creditor has obtained a judgment, they can then proceed to attempting to attach your assets or garnish your pay.
If that is also successful, you will then have a court ordered garnishment filed with your emplpyer.
When did each debt first become delinquent?
