I had a similar problem with an ex lodger. Basically, he is liable for the debts but they could put a blacklist on your address, so you need to get your credit history checked out to make sure this hasn't happened. What I did was to give the new address of my ex lodger - I had to find out what it was first. Usually if you give these people an alternative address they will leave you alone. If anyone comes to your house, or threatens to do so to collect the debt in goods, then just inform them that the debtor no longer lives there and get the police involved. If you have filled in a census form recently without his name on it, that should be sufficient for them to check and leave you alone. If they persist, then get a solicitor or go to Citizens Advice Bureau who will be able to help you.
