One of my relatives who was living with us recently left the U.S. and went back to his country. I don't think he will ever return. But his credit card bills still arrive at my house. He is being charged like $200.00. I cannot contact him. And i don't want to make that payment. What should I do? And is there any way I can stop those letters from arriving at my house?

Why would you pay it? Other than coming to your house, what is your connection to this credit card?
If you cosigned, you have to pay. If not, return to sender all mail in his name. Also, make suer the post office knows that he no longer lives there, so you will not receive mail.
When the calls start..."Wrong number."

do not open the letters. simply write on the outside of the envelope, "addressee no longer at this address," and leave it for the postman to pick up. The letter will be returned to the credit card company, which will then adjust its database accordingly and write off the account as a loss.

Contact the credit card company and tell them that your relative no longer lives at your address and did no leave a forwarding address.

Noooooooooo, you should not pay it. However, I personally would help them find my scummy relative who flitted back across the border & left his debts unpaid!
As for the unwanted mail, get a stamp that says "No Such Person at This Address". Stamp it all & drop it back in the outgoing mailbox.

Call the credit card company and tell them that they have the wrong address for this person. Let them know you don't know who it is or where s/he lives. But, don't pay it.

as far as the letters go. just write on it stating that this person no longer lives here anymore. most likely the letters will stop.
as far as paying it. it is up to you and how your relationship is. personally...if it is chump change then pay it off if not forget it.

Call the customer service number and tell them that you are getting mail that belongs to the previous occupant. If you don't want to reveal that he is a relative, don't. Tell them he left no forwarding address if you don't want to reveal that either.

Go to the post office and fill out a change of address form for him. all his mail will be forwarded to him.

Write: return to sender, not correct address. Don't pay it.
