NOTE:  I'm not advising you to escape w/o paying the local debts that you created and cannot pay.  Only offering creative solutions that might allow you to pay those debts back.  Currently you cannot pay because you cannot work.  Circular argument, no solutions unless you can get out of the trap.  What the bank and country is trying to ensure is that you pay your debts before leaving.  Debt creates shortfall elsewhere which enables debt for other projects, etc.  What your former employers are trying to do, has not been posted by you, so we at QL would have no idea other than the bank debts.  Hope this was a little bit helpful.
