gemguy Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Even if you are receiving a notice for the previous people that lived there do not assume the bank will not try to hold you responsible as you are now the one living there and they really do not care who they get money out of...even if it is the incorrect person and in effect they extort money from you as you would not be the first person ( foreigners included ) who ended up paying someone else's debt. I would be somewhat concerned and I would address the problem and straighten it out before it festers into a larger concern and problem and they TRY to hold you accountable in someway and somehow. And do not think it can not happen to you as I know of people who were in business and their partners "faded away" and left bills and debts and the remaining partner(s) were forced ( extorted ) to pay off the debt by way of association while the debts had NOTHING at all do with the partner or associate in the company rather private debts accumulated by the former partner or debts using the company as collateral or proxy and unknowingly while the partner(s) had no idea of what was going on and certainly not signatory to any of the debts...but still forced to pay or go to prison. That is how it can go down my friend as: This Is Thailand ( TIT ) Edited April 23, 2017 by gemguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant even see how it would happen. my name is not the same as whoever is on that letter. Anyway, as I mentioned a few times in this forum already... i will be notifying the bank that it is not me, and I will also contact the number on this letter and tell them too.

juice777 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Have you bought this condo or just renting it? I would be a lot more concerned if the previous owner has a lot of debts at that address. And I have bought the place. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case Closed, Yes...that is the whole point to what I explained. Do not ignore the matter as it could grow worse and as a foreigner here in Thailand you are vulnerable.

You do not know what happened and you are definitely naïve if you think it did not happen and or does not happen and or can not happen. The police are easily persuade by others who come and pay them off to make it happen. If you can not understand that is how it works here in Thailand, and all too often, then you are a fool. Other people know what I am talking about, but you?????.......well then, I guess ignorant is the word that best describes your retort.

In some countries if you ignore then there is the possibility of a magistrate in a bad mood saying something to you like: 'Your also irresponsible for not contacting the sender of the letter to get it sorted out quickly.' Whether that's true in Thailand I have no idea but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case Closed, At first thought I would agree, however the law, many countries takes strange twists and turns. A twist is the situation where a naive person gets sucked in and naively believes without query and pays. No doubt it happens everywhere. Thirty five years ago I queried why my bank in Australia has removed some AU$500 or similar without telling me. The bank manager tried to convince me it was just a correction. I insisted on more details and a junior spoke up and said they believed I was a cc debtor with payments well overdue. I told the manager that I did not have a cc from that bank, he still tried his double talk, so I personally visited the HO of the bank and demanded answers. Turned out they mistook my name for a very similar name but did no real checking. The HO guys were horrified at the whole scenario but even more so by the fact the local guy had removed money from my account with no advice to me whatever. It happens.

Maybe, but if he goes through the motions of,at least doing the right thing and has emails, copies etc,then he has half a chance And some of the laws and promise's and all the other B S that this government feeds us on a daily basis,proves that we live in a world of fiction.

It happens. my parents (30 years ago) got a 30,000 pounds deposit into their bank. followed by several phone calls from their bank manager apologizing for a big mistake.. apparently the bank put the 30,000 Pounds in their bank account by mistake... as it was intended for someone of the same name. so it was released by my parents and transferred back to the correct person. the interesting thing was they needed my parents permission to take back the money. i think the bank manager gave my parents champagne & flowers.
