    ..or you could take responsibility for your debt, and call up the DCA to make a deal.

    Why assume its his debt?

    I had debt collectors trying to get money off me which was not run up or owed by me. As soon as I requested the paperwork it was obvious that the new people at my previous address were pretending to be me & my OH & ordering books & CDs (from junk mail delivered after mail forwarding had expired, you know the kind of thing "please come back valued customer" etc etc).

    However it was down to me to prove the debt wasnt mine & the police had to be involved because the Debt Company would only back off with a crime number.:mad:
    NEVER ASSUME! :rolleyes:
