they were addressed to the woman who lived here before me, but today i rang the office and spoke to a very nice genleman and patiently explainrd it all again and supposedly he has updated their computer while i was on the phone :D

so i expect another letter in a few months then :lol:

I'm having fun and games with the council tax bill for the previous occupant here.

One morning, I came home at about 7am, fresh out of work after a nightshift, to find a man standing on the doorstep, clearly quite keen to be let in.  I asked if I could help, and it turned out he was a bailiff, come to arrest the previous tenant.

Apparently she'd been to court a few weeks prior, and given her old address (i.e, my address!) as her current residence.

Still, he seemed happy enough to believe that I wasn't her.  It must have been me showing him my work security pass which was still hanging round my neck.  Or the beard.

i,ve decided not to get worried about being in debt now, if its taken these muppets over 5 years to get their money and they still havent found her to be able to get it why worry  :lol:

Unfortunately you'll be in the brown stuff when you want a credit card, they will blacklist your address.  You can take steps to undo this but it's expensive.  Julie has been blacklisted by Orange (bunck of w******) over £11 line rental for a 'phone she never had and quite frankly we can't be bothered about it.  the bank know she's good for the money and gave us a big mortgage and I have 3 cards that can each buy a new car, which is odd because I don't work (not too hard anyway).

Anyway, did you know you should be able to bend a solicitor's ear for an hour FREE OF CHARGE, it's a legal nicety that I believe you're entitled to.  In that space of time he should be able to telll you where you stand etc and what you can do.  I've found in the past that a letter on solicitor's headed paper makes people take more notice, especially if they think you are going to stick it back to them.  You also have citisen's advice if you can spare the time.

Wanderer:
My worry would be that...
Should a warrent be issued (rightly or wrongly) and no one is in at the time then they can enter the property to enforce it.

The fact they have got it wrong won't lessen the grief and bother involved in getting it sorted after they've taken the gear (if they can do that)

So if you see something from them or the courts to say one has been issued then something needs to be done.

As Andy said it does affect your credit rating via the property.
Even now my daughter has problems with credit applications due to the property.
We cleared the problem with CCN but obviously some info is stored elsewhere.
