Avoiding the electoral register

18th March 2014 the OP posted:

"Hello

I ran up a credit card debt of £1000 about 3 years ago at a past address and had to leave that address. I have not been back and do not know to what extent I have been chased for the debt.
I handed the keys back to my ex-landlord and have not been back to collect any post.

As far as my bank is concerned, I am still at that address, however, but the local council and DWP do know of my address change. In other words, I imagine that the bank I owe money to, do not know my current address."


Ok so you're a runner. Plain and simple. A dodgy person, a chancer.


What has changed? You didn't make a post on that thread to advise that you had contacted the company and offered to settle the debt So for all we know you've just let it drift off.

I have zero sympathy for you. I think there is chance that you are trying to avoid being on the electoral register so that companies or councils don't come out the woodwork to chase you for money owed.

For that reason, I'm out

PS the NI number is obligatory too. So why are you happy with having one of those and paying NI/Tax from your wages every month?

I am shocked that regulars have entertained your post, even though it wasn't even a "consumer rights" issue, without criticizing the backstory.

EDIT: I am a firm believer of the "each to their own" mantra, but if you are running any sort of scam then it is on your own back and don't involve anyone else by posting on here. And even if you're not then you should be super careful about what you post, as running from a past debt without clarification does not paint you in a positive way.
