Does the arrears before the owner's mobile phone number affect me?

There will still be some influence more or less.

According to the relativity of debt, the creditor can only ask the debtor to perform the debt. As the new owner of the mobile phone number, you belong to an unrelated third party and are not responsible for repayment.

The relativity of debt means that debt can and can only be binding on creditors and debtors. Because debt is essentially a legal relationship between the parties, and one party requests the other party to pay off on its behalf, the creditor's rights cannot be traced back like property rights, and can only be effective for specific people.

The civil rights and obligations of a person with full capacity for civil conduct shall be enjoyed and borne by him. The debts incurred by individuals and the damages caused by them shall be repaid independently by individuals with their personal property, and relatives have no legal obligation to repay them. If it is a person with limited capacity or without civil capacity, part or all of the debts owed by the debtor are invalid.

If the debtor dies, the debtor's family inherits the debtor's estate, and the family shall repay the debt within the scope of inheritance.

Article 159 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC) When inheriting an estate, the decedent shall pay off the taxes and debts that should be paid according to law, and the payment of taxes and debts shall be limited to the actual value of the estate. The part exceeding the actual value of the estate shall be voluntarily repaid by the heir. If the heir renounces inheritance, he may not bear the taxes and debts that the decedent should pay according to law.

Although you don't inherit each other's debts legally, it will have a great impact on your life.

At present, many debt companies are calling or texting for payment. It is estimated that the last creditor changed his name to avoid this problem. Although this mobile phone number has been cancelled and then activated, as long as it is the same number, you can receive other people's information and calls. Therefore, I often get harassing calls in the middle of the night, violent calls from debt companies, and even information about being sued by the court. These are also unbearable for ordinary people. If you want to get rid of them completely, you can only change your mobile phone number.
