My partner and I seperated in September, since then he has missed the October payment on his BarclayCard.
Barclaycard have been on the phone every three hours for a week and a half, it's been quite creepy in that they have been trying differant patterns of times to catch him in.
He visits his son regularly and I have asked him repeatedly to get in touch with them and get it sorted but he keeps 'forgetting' to do so (head/sand interface) a statement arrived the other day and it accidentally fell open, like they do. Since he left he has been living on his card and his balance is scary.
What's the best course of action? I'm a single mum, living on benefits and I don't want my idiot ex's creditors chasing him at this address or worse still Bailiffs turning up if he continues not to pay.
I wrote this letter to Barclaycard:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Re:
Please can you update your records to note that XX XX doesnt live at this address, we have seperated, and hasnt done since the 20th September 2012.
Can you ask your agents to contact him directly on his mobile number: XX this is the only number my idiot-ex can be contacted on.
I dont have a forwarding address for him but he does pick up his post from this address every so often.
My personal circumstances are such, single mum on benefits, that I do not want idiot ex's creditors chasing me or this addresses credit score adversely affected in any way.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards
I feel a bit mean but I have enough to worry about as it it.
