They shouldn't do this, but they will stop at nothing to get money so it doesn't surprise me. My boyfriend got chased by debt collection agencies on behalf of BT a couple of years ago for a debt relating to a city in which he has never lived, in the name of someone who's surname was slightly similar (but not even the same) as his. \n\nI reckon you need to prove that you are not responsible for the debt. You might need to send them things like a copy of your tenancy agreement, showing when you moved in, and also proof that you were living elsewhere at the time the debts were accrued. Maybe you could get your landlord to help?\n\nIt's annoying, and you shouldn't have to do it. But BT are crooks so you will have to jump through a million hoops before you can fprce them to sort it out.

That is up to the finance company. Some will repo it if you're late two or three payments. I would try to get them caught up ASAP or call them and see if they will work a new payment plan up with you or else you might be walking really soon.

My understanding is a bill for work done, goods delivered etc must be issued within 3 years of delivery/work done. if not issued within three years then you may have an option to refuse due to the time lapsed from date of receiving the service. PS don't take my word for this, it is my understanding, check with the citizens advice, or similar body, to confirm. In your situation, providing you can check and confirm payment taken or not, then if payment not taken you are liable to pay this account

What seems to be happening here is,the company you had the actual debt with has not closed the account and it has therefore gained small interest,these files are then sent in bulk for a collection agency to sort out,the amount which has been paid still remains as unpaid when sent to the collection agency,so what you need to do is make contact with the persons,company or who ever the debt originated from and in turn they should inform the collections company,the fact that you say you continue to get them off different companys also backs this,has what is also happening one you explain the situation to one collection company and they then send it back to the originator who then sends it to another collection company,this is because the left arm hasnt got a clue what the right arm is doing and in any case dont worry about it,if seven years have passed you can tell them to take a run and jump

Sign in to Yahoo Messenger, then go to your Plug Ins, 'Start' your BT Phone Book, you may be able to type in the address there and find out. \n\nHope that helped.

are you in England?\n\nIf so, they usually use a tracing agent and he will most certainly be caught if he tries to apply for further credit.\n\nYou need to contact the people he owes money to though, otherwise it can reflect badly on your own credit rating. If you explain the situation, they are really understanding. My family went through the same with my brother. They will find him eventually though, they usually persuade them to make an agreement to start paying it off month by month

Its classed has a criminal offence.Have you tried to get the council to take so much a week.By law if you offer what you can afford they have to accept it.If they will not accept a payment, go to your local press trust me they will help & it will not be put in the newspaper,If you do not want to go to the paper go to citizens advice they will get in touch with the council for you.Good Luck

Worry not my friend you aren't responsible for it.  Legally "they" can't put debts on your unless your signature is present.\n\nRival

no just let your company know that you have moved and they will send you your bills to your new address. Make sure you do tell them though as i made the same mistake and didnt bother which they have now caught up with me and im still paying it now

you need a lawyer. However in this country even if you change your name your still liable for the previous debt.\n\nGET A SOLICITOR!

The only way to get this debt removed is fight it with the creditor.  That may require a court trip to sue your ex for the amount she charged, then paying off the debt.  Be sure to make the creditor remove the report before you pay them, otherwise they just may leave it on your record.\n\nCredit reporting agencies will not remove this listing.  The best they can do is include a statement of your dispute, but most lenders ignore this information.

Depends.  There should be an explanation as to what those details are (interest payments, fees).  Call your bank and ask for an explanation if you still don't understand.
