Debt Collection Letter received

Quick query, hoping somebody can help me out and point me in the right direction.

I have received a letter from a debt collection agency on behalf of Wonga, regarding a debt that my son took out when he lived at my address briefly. My son now lives in South Korea and has no intentions of moving home anytime soon I imagine. He asks me to open any post he gets and if it's important let him know etc, which I did. My son has asked me to forward on his e-mail address to this company so they can contact him directly, which I have

How does this now work? I just imagine a lot of people say that the debtor doesn't live at that address, but i've read stories that they continue to chase etc. I don't fancy bailiffs knocking on my door, I am aware they have no right to take any of my property, but still I am wary of what may happen in relation to my Son. He's mature enough to handle his own battles but still, if he decides to ignore it??

Anybody with any advice would be much appreciated, Many Thanks

  • if he has their details im sure he will tell them, otherwise don't worry about it too much, they can always check the electoral register and it should show he is not at the address, to be honest, id just ignore the letters, just write on it "RTS"
