My father is 86-years-old and just recently came to live in my home. His credit card payments are to much for me to assume as he has only S.S he receives, and uses it for food and medications. Dad gave one creditor, my phone number and address and they keep calling me, saying I'm responsible for his bill as I'm the care giver. What can they do, ruin his credit? My Credit? They keep calling.
I just know I am not responsible for his bills. and don't know if they can come after me. They do have my address and phone number when We made a change of address for his mail..
Just got a phone call from a department store bill collector and I asked them not to call this number any longer. Hoping they will stop.
i feel so much better now , hate answerin the phone and its all blah blah blah , wake me or dad up , well no more !!
These bottomfeeder collectors will say anything to scare you. Check out the laws for your state. If your name isn't on the credit card I doubt if you'd be responsible for one dime of it. I am thankful I've never had to be a collector because it must be the worst job on earth.
