Hello there -- sorry for your dilemma. No, you will not be imprisoned for debt -- that statement would be applicable in the US and European jurisdictions generally. However, the statute of limitations for collecting on debt varies broadly by jurisdiction, so you really do need to speak with legal counsel. WLD has affiliated counsel throughout Europe, so your best option would be to go to their main page and request a referral. You really need to have counsel review the situation and advise you accordingly. Hope it all works out. AJJ
