If you used the gas or whatever then they are your debts. When they find out the name is wrong they will simply correct it.0

Equally if you dispute it and they can reasonably prove it was you all along, you could be charged with deception or theft.
I wouldn't want the criminal record against my name because of a bill I would only have to pay up eventually anyway.0 -
never mess with water, landregistry and credit reference is a good tool0
