Paying back loan for products I dont have

I've divorced around 18 months ago and I'm still getting collection agencies chasing for payment on credit for products we bought as a couple, but I left these all with her when I left the house. Do I have any standing on passing these agencies and debt over to her as she still has the products in her house? The credit was in my sole name as I work full time and she doesn't. Can I get any legal help. I just feel very frustrated paying a debt for something I don't own any more.

Thankyou.

    I split up with my ex 18 months ago and still being hassled to pay for products that I left with her. The credit was in my name as I worked and she didn't, but can I legally ask them to chase her for the debt when she still has the products the debt was used to pay for in the first place?! Otherwise I'm paying for something I don't have.

    Don't be silly, you bought the goods. What has it got to do with the people who lent you the money who is using them?

    I really doubt that will do you any good. Best to just get rid of the debts, forget it and move on.

    Good luck.
