Debt Collection

Mike... · 2010-01-06 06:00:40

Can a uk debt collection company pursue someone now resident in Ireland? I had my ex gf's mobile phone bills in my name and now they want £700 from 4 years ago. Only started getting the letters last week to my Irish address. Can they force me to pay even though I am now resident here or whats the story. Thanks

Yes they can sue you for the money - most likely in this case in the UK, and then enforcing the judgment against you here.

You need a solicitor.
