      It seems my last post confused people, so let me clarify, I am an Israeli, in Israel. The address that is being abused is in Israel, not in Sweden.

      A Swedish person has illegally used my address to register it as his own with the Swedish tax authority (Skatteverket). As a result of this, the Swedish debt collectors (Kronofogden) are harassing me. I am an Israeli who has never stepped foot in Sweden, I have no connection to Sweden and yet I am receiving Kronofogden letters in Israel, from Sweden for a someone who does not live at my address.

      The Kronofogden has threatened to sell the debt to an Israeli debt collector, who could seize my property. How can that be legal? Why does Sweden allow people to change addresses to external countries without any confirmation or verification that the specific person lives on that address? How it is legal for Swedish people to weaponize their debt against foreigners for political reasons? I understand that some people don’t like Israelis, or Russians, or Americans, or Chinese… but really, this is messed up.

      So how this happened: I met a friendly Swedish guy while backpacking in South America. He knew I was Israeli but didn’t indicate that he had any problem with that. We travelled for about 4 days together before each going on own way to continue our adventures. We exchanged Instagram and home addresses, so we could keep in touch. It was his idea to exchange the actual home address, as he thought it would be cool to send old-school postcards now and then. I didn’t think I’d have a reason to worry so I gave him my address and he gave me his.

      Several months later, I started receiving mail from Sweden that was addressed to him. So I wrote to him on Instagram to ask why I was getting his mail. He only replied to call me a “Zionist pig” then blocked me. Then he deleted his Instagram account. Moreover, I found out that the Swedish address that he had given me was totally fabricated. Shortly after I started getting lots of aggressive mail from the Kronofogden.

      I tried reaching out to the Kronofogden myself but was told that only the Skatteverket could resolve the problem, as they have the power to remove that person from being registered at my address. So I emailed the Skatteverket and even sent off a form to report that my address is being used for someone who does not even live in Israel. However, the Skatteverket replied stating that the only way for me to prove that the person does not live on my address is to fly into Sweden and go to their offices. I don’t even have any Swedish ID or anything related to Sweden, so how would I even deal with this if I am not a citizen or a resident of Sweden? What can I do?

    2. You should probably contact them saying you reject their claim, in writing.

      And then contact the swedish embassy to ask them how to file a police report.

      The only really important thing for you here is:
      – To whom has the letters been posted? To you or him?

      If they are posted to him; at your adress; the adress and the letters do not matter for you. The debt can only be collected from the person in debt.

      That ain’t your name on the papers? Then don’t care about it, it’s not yours anyway. And the whole address thing is an Israeli thing so no need to try and change the address in Sweden call the Israeli department for it.

      Btw who ever that paper is for have committed crimes and been punished for it

    5. Your story is overblown and wrongly translated. The person its adressed to is a criminal who has harmed others. Left letter is a compensation to victims debt. Kronofogden are the ones collecting it.

      Kronofogden cannot ‘sell’ debts to other collectors nor do they have any sort of jurisdiction abroad. In others words no you are completely fine. Dont pay anything!

      If you recieve any more letters from either Brottsoffermyndigheten or Kronofogden just strike over the adress (yours with his name) and write on it ‘No person with that name lives at this address’ and return to sender. However since you are in israel returning is a pain.

      Either way you are fine, all your assets are safe, and you cant judge a book by its cover.

      The debt is not attached to an address, it’s attached to a person. To their “Personnummer” (which uniquely identifies them). If this happens within Sweden, the correct thing to do is to just return the mail, writing a message on the envelope that “this person does not live at his address”, and just dropping it in a public post box. You do not have any legal obligations to the debtor. How would you handle wrongly addressed/delivered post in Israel?

      If skatteverket truly refuses to help you with someone claiming falsely that hey live at your address in Israel without you traveling to Sweden for a physical in-person visit, maybe you should contact the Israeli embassy in Sweden, and possibly even the Swedish embassy in Israel. And request assistance or guidance from them.

      This sounds really fake. If the person you claim has registered at your adress has debts that is his problems, not yours. Why would they threaten you to sell the other persons debt to someone else? They cannot seize your property. Esther you are being scammed or you are trying to fool us.
