Not true, UK will have to pay them one way or another. It's the liabilities from the last 2 years where UK is in the EU, and those will have to be paid.

It's as if you were in debt at a bank and then cancelling all your accounts there, you will still have to pay back your debt

Make us.

We aren't in debt to the EU. You owe us a share of those Greek motorways and Eastern European factories we paid to build.

We pay more in so whatever we got, we could have paid for ourselves.

The EU owes us our assets.

While highly unlikely, it could technically used as a Casus Belli

EU could also go the Napoleon route and block out all British trade with the EU. since a whooping 60% of trade is made with the EU right now, UK economy would crash in an instant.

@bolded: That's not how it works, none of those were build with EU money. Especially not the factories, which were built there by corporations and other companies mainly because workers are cheaper there then, say, the UK.
