Fraud
Having split from his partner, a friend’s son has since discovered that she ordered several thousand pounds worth of clothing and other items using his bank cards. As far as I can ascertain having entered into credit agreements with on-line companies, she has now presented him with a number of final demands for payment and the companies involved have told him that since he was living at the address when the orders were placed he is responsible for payment.
It’s impossible for him to prove to his bank that he didn’t place the orders, but he didn’t, so what’s the solution? Must he just grit his teeth and bear it?

First thing he needs to do is check his credit report with someone like Experian. That should at least tell him all the credit accounts in his name. Second is collect all the info together insofar as possible. ie item, date of order/

FF, //I'm not sure why the post has been coming to his old address. //
I would have thought that was obvious. She ordered goods on cards that, at the time, were registered to that address. Therefore the companies are sending mail to that address. He has never had anything to do with those companies.
