Niece needs help - hassled for ex's debts

[AGB]

My niece is being hassled for an ex-boyfriend's debts. He doesn't live with her anymore, she has told the creditors such many times, yet still they hassle her by phone and letter. She has also informed the ex. She is getting very worried, frutsrated and scared.

 

:-? What can she do?

Hi AGB

 

My advice would be for your neice to send 'Hararassment by telephone' letters to any creditor/DCA calling her, including in the letter that the alledged debts refer to her ex not her. Here's a link for the standard letter:

Also, she should pass the letters to her ex for him to deal with.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Good luck to you and your neice,

First off DON'T talk to them on the phone as they will say anything to get payment.

Now any letters that are received for the Ex need to be returned with "Not Known At This Address".

Also she could send a harassment by phone letter:

Thanks both of you for your advice. I'll pass it on.

 

Thank you!
