Re: Harrasment or Not?

They are simply on automatic pilot. Unless you cosigned or agreed to guarantee or pay his debts, they are out of luck.

You need to ask the heir to file a forwarding request with the post office. I would also suggest that you change the telephone number.

You do not need to talk with any of these creditors. I realize it may be a pain over the short run, but that should be your target.

If you have any specific questions, contact me.
