Ask Me Help Desk - Seizing of a Passport

Seizing of a Passport

If I have a debt in arrears and have been traveling, will they seize my passport when I enter the country because of my student loan debt? (BC)

I am pretty sure the answer is no.

No, of course one has to go "HMMM" if a person can aford to travel internatinally but is not paying their student loans.

I didn't say I paid for the travel though...

Wow, lots of assumptions! Even though I havent' divulged my story folks, it still isn't an excuse to insert your own.

I thought this board was about help..

I agree.

I know many of my friends who travel despite having debt.

And some are even in arrears on their debt.

If one spends all their time working to pay off debt, they might never enjoy life!

Well this is the issue, travel costs money, someone was paying for it or is going to pay for it. So as a business owner I often have people who owe me 1000's of dollars but instead of paying me, they go to disneyland or buy a big screen TV.

No you did not give a full story ( so you have to let us assume what you are saying) even after three chances to tell you story you don't want to, so there must be some truth to our assumptions.

And we have told you, they don't take a passport because of debts. ( but maybe they should)

I disagree with you Fr Chuck.

My grandfather never traveled anywhere because he was in debt.

When he died, he never travelled anywhere because he was always in debt.

What kind of life is that?

From the business point of view, sure, they don't want customers wasting money like that.

But from this kids perspective, it is quite logical to travel. Have fun, enjoy life, you only get one shot at it.

And it doesn't even matter if he spends $500,000 on the trip, while that is silly, he has a right to use his money however he wishes to.

This sounds like you have a personal issue you are bringing into my problem here.

You won't find resolvement here with your issue by injecting it into any post or projecting it on other people that come by.

I didn't 'let' you assume. I don't force you to type what you type on the keyboard. I don't force you to come onto these boards and attempt to humiliate people more who are trying to deal with already very humiliating problems.
This is the behaviour you have chosen to take.
I don't recall I was given a chance to post up my story. It's a free board and so I simply asked a few short questions. Any more than that is mine to give. Not owe to you. Feel free to ask questions in a more appropriate and respectful manner, I'll consider trusting you enough to tell my story. Til then, it's off limits if these are the kinds of replies you think are suitable.
