Hello
I am a UK resident and passport holder. I lived in Spain several years ago. At the time, I had an unsecured bank loan with a Spanish bank which i initially maintained and paid. However, when i returned to the UK I became unemployed and, regretfully, was unable to make my monthly payments to the Spanish bank. I am not proud of this but i just do not have the income. In time, when I have the means I intend to bring my account into line if i can. Meantime, the bank have not pursued me for several years. I have just found out that a friend in Spain has passed away and I would like to attend the funeral if possible. However, given that I will have to provide my passport number/details to book a flight - the bank hold my passport details obviously - is there a chance I could be apprehended by immigration/police for extensive arrears and non-payment of bank loan if I attempt to enter/leave Spain? If so, what are the potential consequences? Apologies if this seems trivial but any guidance would be appreciated.
Concerned,
London
