LUEBKE BAKER & ASSOCIATES Harrasses me for someone else's debt!! Lies about removing number Peoria Illinois

I worked collections for this company. You don't explain anything in your post about your debt so I will have to make assumptions. First let me state that I do not like this company. With that said if your ex roomate ran up the debt and they are contacting you then obviously it is your name on the account. I am making the assumption further that this was probably a property rental debt. The issue comes into play that both of you are responsible if you were both on the lease and collection agencies in general don't care who pays as long as it gets paid.

My only advice is that you try to get them to let yo pay half to take your name off of the debt and remove it from your credit. The only other option is to try and contact your ex roomate and convince them to pay it for you. If i am wrong and this is a credit card type debt then you are responsible unless you had filed a police report and had your ex roomate arrested for id theft but obviously this isn't the case. Best of luck.
