My son moved overseas over two years ago on a working visa and is being pursued for a UK debt for which I maintain he is not liable. I have written to the original supplier, but they simply passed on the case to their debt collectors. Correspondence still comes here, and I have informed the debt collectors that the address they have is incorrect and I will not pass on any correspondence. Is this the correct approach?
Yes. You should probably keep any future correspondence so that, if the debt collection agency chooses to pursue the matter at some point, your son will be up to speed with any developments. But the agency is unlikely to incur court costs – the next step – where the matter is disputed and the defendant is out of the country.
