Hi all, When I was still married, my husband took out a student loan. He made payments and when our whatever it was, dissolved, I guess he stopped making payments. Anyway, I get these weird messages on my machine, computers saying to call back or they will have to call again and remember "ask for vicky." Knowing I owed nobody, I ignored the calls and I don't know where the guy is anyway. But one day I was home when the call came and they wanted to talk to him about a legal decision. I told them like tthre times that he didn't live with me, could not be reached at that number and I didn't know how to reach him. They said okay and they wouldn't call again. So after three days of their machines calling me and threatening legal action, I lost it and called them and demanded they take my number out of their database because what they were doing is harassment. The rep was like, well, if you'd just give us contact info, we'd leave you alone. I demanded a supe then and got one and they have promised to take my number out. Tell me why it is I checked my messages today and that same fricking computer is calling? How do I make them stop? My name is nowhere on that loan and I did that for obvious reasons. I don't even want to hear anything about California law and I absorb half his debts because that loan did not benefit me in any way whatsoever and we have had that partnership dissolved for three years now. Maybe I am putting the cart before the horse, but do you think they can put that on my credit report somehow just because we were married at one time?
He probably listed you as the nearest relative or friend. Always surprising the number of people who may list you and then lose long term contact. : ) You are there big hope for finding him. I am sure you are not responsible for his debt. You can follow-up with a cease and desist letter ect. After documenting your attempts to end the harrassment (do the research) follow-up with legal action if necessary.
