I’ve got quite the story here, and I’m not sure how to proceed. I got a phone call from a lady I’ll call Trish who claims her stuff is in a unit under her ex boyfriend’s name (John). The unit has been unpaid for some time, and her name is not on the lease. John has not answered my phone calls or emails so I was about to send it to collections, but he finally responded to tell me that the contents are indeed belonging to Trish and could we please put the unit under her name. The catch here is that she is currently in jail and cannot make payments. Her mother mailed me cheques for a few months, and Trish promised to come pay off the rest when she got out which should have been March 13th. I have not heard from her. I phoned her mother who aslo has not heard from her in days. I no longer feel confident that she is going to come in and pay for the unit. Other than her mother’s address, I have no contact info for Trish, and I know that John’s contact info is not current. I also don’t have any driver’s license or other ID for Trish, so my hopes of the collections agency finding her seems pretty slim. Which name would you send in to the collections agency? I know John doesn’t care about the items in the unit since they aren’t his, but technically since his name is on the rental agreement, he is the one in default. Arguably, he told me to put Trish’s name on, so is she now legally responsible for it?
