Re: Can a DCA track you if change your name?

What a question!
I suppose the only way we'd know is if you try it.
Let us know what happens.

Assuming you could get rid of all financial links to your old self and you are happy to live without future credit I'm sure you could make things very difficult for a tracing agency.

However debt collectors are usually pretty targetted and tenacious. When I worked in debt collection we initially used Experian and Equifax to trace people through their credit applications..

If that didn't work we used tracing agencies which were pretty efficient and occasionally even private investigators.

If somone borrows something, be it money or a book or a cup of sugar they should give it back - thats what makes the world go round.

People should pay their debts, but at a rate they can afford. If you need honest and realistic help with your finances contact Debt Advice Foundation.
