  • I never settled a disputed debt from when I lived in Switzerland, and I do wonder if I'll get pulled up the next time my passport is inspected at a Swiss border control. It was 24 years ago now, so I'm hoping the statute of limitations will mean I'm in the clear soon.

  • I went to Switzerland with someone who had a speeding find from 2 years before - they were stopped at the border but it was pretty straight forward just to pay it and they were let in.

  • I've been back, by bike, since and didn't get my collar felt so I might be in the clear. I don't remember showing my passport at a border control though.

    It wasn't a speeding fine, instead was a final bill from my phone/internet provider. I phoned and cancelled the contract and the person I spoke to said there was no further fees to pay. Then a few months later they sent my a bill for like 30 Sfr and I emailed back and disputed it. I didn't hear anymore but then got a letter from a debt recovery company maybe six months later. I ignored that too.

    Knowing the Swiss, I'm probably on a felons list somewhere.
