Why is the libel in the paper not being corrected if you did not incur the debt or have it assigned to you. Ask for a retraction. Now if you co-signed on a debt with someone else, you are on the debt and it is being reported correctly. If you signed anything promising to back someone up or you have your name on a title and that vehicle is in an accident, even if someone else was driving, you are responsible too.

If you signed you're the debtor. You may have a right to go after the person for whose benefit you incurred the debt, but as to the creditor, you're the debtor.
