Help/Advice needed - ex DH rung up debt in my name

[FamilyLawAdvice]

ex DH has run up debt in my name £6000 worth, credit cards, and some catalogs. It's all been pasted to debt collection agencies is there a way to get this out of my name and into his name?

I physically can not afford to pay it off.

"there will be no police. "

Then it's legally your debt as its in your name, and you'll have to pay it exactly as if you'd run it up yourself, end of. If he does it again, you'll have to pay again. Glad we could help.

You are deluded if you are telling yourself that the situation has become amicable. On his side, there's hate and financial warfare, nothing amicable about it.

You aren't coparenting amicably, he is literally threatening to bankrupt and financially ruin his kids' mother.

That's not amicable, it's a war of domestic terror. He will escalate until it's too much money, you go bankrupt and don't have good enough credit to rent a home or obtain employment handling cash and certain office work.

Approach the credits agencies and let then involve the police. This guy's tactics could see you and your kids homeless.

Why on earth would you pay off his debt-I would be fuming? This will affect your credit score to pay for things YOU might want to do with your future money.

What if he does it again tomorrow? Next week? What it’s next time it’s £10k? £20k? £60k?

Is there no line for you?! So, you’ll just keep sucking up whatever he kicks at you?!

Get some self respect and ring the police.

He’s committed fraud and you’re a willing associate. You’re being ridiculous. Tell the police. Think what you could spend that money on ... your kids?

I am curious as to what sort of solution that you think there was? You can call the companies and tell them it isn't you but you know they will involve the police. There isn't another solution, once he knows that you will pay for his lifestyle he will just keep going.

I suppose that the worst that can happen is that he bankrupts you, you end up homeless and he takes the children full time and you end up paying him child maintenance. Surely no matter how remote that scenario is, it isn't worth the risk?

If you're that amicable perhaps you should request he pays it off himself?
