Hey all. This seems like a long shot, but what the heck.
In general questions "What happened to my 29,000 phone bill? thread, this was one of my responses to the idea that a big debt acquired in a foreign country can just be ignored and nothing will happen.
Here is what I wrote.
I recall a TV show/documentary/news story about women going to foreign countries to get cheap plastic surgery. The main slant of the story was how risky plastic surgery could be, particulary in these other countries done by fly by night doctors on the cheap.
One lady goes to Mexico? were they royally messed things up (nearly killing her too?). Her face was permanently and seriously disfigured. Not surprisingly she refused to pay.
IIRC Interpol? shows up at her American doorstep one day and hauls her off. The reason I recall this was I was shocked that they would show up to do that, and to do that for a business debt and one that wasnt settled for good and obvious reasons.
Now maybe my memory is totally wacked, but thats the gist of what I remember.
I’ll add that it was aired probably no longer than 8 years ago, and was probably one of those investigative news programs that one of the big 3/4 networks have/had. And, maybe the woman was British, Canadian, or European rather than American.
