Hi,
I have received an email from a debt recovery company pursuing a debt at my ex partners home. I never lived there as a permanent resident, the original company (Utility Point) made the account in my name in error (I was trying to help him when he moved in and sort the change over). There is an outstanding amount of £164. However I have sent them proof of my address (water bills going back to 2016 when I moved into my house) and my ID etc. But they are still coming after me, even though I have given them his details. As the account is in my name (in error) they are saying that it is my account and I must pay. Do I have to? I have proved I was never a perm resident and that I was never registered at his house. I don't want bailiffs turning up at my house!!! HELP

Debt collectors are powerless and can safely be ignored, but you haven't said for what the alleged debt is being claimed. Is it for a parking charge, or something else?I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.

Hi No sorry posted in the wrong forum (newbie) it was for an outstanding energy bill, he would pay it if he was asked. He was good in that respect. But I no longer have contact and would rather not instigate it.1
