Other peoples debt

[Glenbren]

My son left home in 2006 to live in USA. Unbeknown to me he had an outstanding overdraft.I now keep receiving letters saying the outstanding debt has been passed to debt collectors. Although I have written to them several times saying he does not live here the letters still come. Is there anywhere I can notify so that his name is removed from my address, and will his debt show on my credit rating?

Give them his new address.

[Glenbren]

I do not have his new address

Fined out his adress in the states, tell them , then send all letters back unopenned saying.

"Not Known at this address,
Sender: please update your records
PO: Return to sender"

What a shame you have no contact with your son. That is such a sad thing to hear.

Send back unopened in another envolope with a covering letter stating he has moved.

However they won't believe you as 1. everyone who has a debt who wants to forget about it will say that. 2 they will want proof he has moved because ... see 1 above

Do you ever speak to your son? Have you got his phone number?
If so, tell him to sort it out (or give you his address) as it's not fair that you are suffering the consequences of his debt.

It wil show up on your credit rating, as it is against your address.
