    Debt collectors chasing unlisted relative

    It's possible they have put you down as a contact. When I applied for my car loan I had to give three names or contacts in case I was uncontactable

    oh yeah, def not your problem & you don't have to tell them anything. they can't tell you anything either unless they have a signed consent from your SIL. if you don't return the call or they can't get hold of you (and you don't have to return the call or anything), they may end up sending someone round to the house to see if she's there or you can help with forwarding details. again, you're not obliged to help/tell them anything & they should act in a professional manner (i.e not threatening). sorry - that's not meant to freak you out, just as a 'what may happen' ...all depends on how much she owes really!

    she would be thousands behind on her car payments, but anyway..Not going to return their call and hopefully they don't call again.

    DH has called his parents to let his sister know they are looking for her and to contact them because we don't want to be dealing with her/their crap.
