Help with MIL problems

carlih1

Hi,

My MIL has been having numerous problems, her son used to live with her and now neither my DP nor my MIL talk to him or know where he is. The problem being is that she is getting letters constantly saying that debt collectors are going to go around to her house and get her things, one letter has now been addressed to the occupier and she is really panicking, she is a pensioner and gets really wound up about these things.

She is worried they will get in contact with her landlord and what i would like to know is is this harrasement is there anything that can be done.

She puts on the letters not known at this address then sometimes my dp calls them and says he doesn't know where his brother is.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I think she is doing all that she can do.

If anyone turns up at the door step demanding payment or goods, then she needs to say that he doesn't live here, hasn't done since X and she doesn't know where he is now - Under no circumstances should she let them in.

There isn't much more that she can do.
