Re: my father in law has debts,are we accountable

No absolutely not.
(Although some debt collectors will try to tell you otherwise).
Unless you signed the credit agreement you are not liable,

What they may ask is why are you opening his post? You should forward it on unopened. Or return it marked "no forwarding address",

If you are getting pressure from debt collectors you are welcome to click on my name and call me at Debt Advice Foundation.
