Fishing expedition possibly? Your credit history must link to her in some way and so the collectors are just trying to find a way to contact you. Some names are unusual enough that a relationship will be assumed. Or 2 names in the same area that are similar as in Rob Carmichael and Bob Carmichael who might be father and son.
Have you had a look at your credit history to see if you know what the debt's for and from when? If you feel you must contact them (& I'm not necessarily suggesting that you should) then do so by post, don't phone and give them a number that they can use to harass you.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.
