As for mail, if you are getting someone elses mail for their debt, how does it hassle you? just throw it in the bin, it can't damgage your credit rating. At my old place I used to always get letters for the previous tennants debts, I simply put "not at this address" I then recieved more, so made a complaint to the ombudsman, never recieved any again. Not my debt, not my problem... why worry about it. Only the person who owns the debt will have their credit rating dammaged, no one else. |

I try not to judge the feckless people who leave debt behind I just wish they were steralized at the emigration medical as a precaution.

I used to get letters from dept collection agencies because of the former owner of my house. The were addressed to 'the occupier' so I opened them. I used to then phone the companies and give the address of the former owner of my house! The agencies were always a pleasure to deal with. :rofl:

It's unlikely to be passed onto an Aussie debt collection agency and even if it is there is little they can do, you should pay it if you can but I personally wouldn't lose any sleep over it if you don't, after all it was only the greed of the banks that made them loan you the money, they didn't do it because they felt sorry for you or just wanted to help you out because they're nice, they take the chance and sometimes they lose.

I assume some of the other debt was larger and at least one company obviously took it from letters to lawyers to court to police. It took several months to escalate but more than one company were like a dog with a bone.
Most of these debt collection firms are full of sh!t. Everything that comes out of their mouth is nothing more than rubbish intended to scare people into paying when there isn't a legal obligation. |

Actually, half the time they did it becuase it is a product they are trying to sell. Like selling credit cards in shopping centres etc.

Letters through the post about new credit cards or loan offers have gone into the bin with no repercussions and on the many occasions I have been asked do I want a store card a reply of "no thank you" has always done the trick. |

Anything else can be saved for. Just because a 'money grabbing bank or loan shark' offers you money, doesn't mean you take it. If you do, you pay it back. It's very very simple. (imo anyway) |
