Wanderer:
Have you sent them proof of your tenancy or mortgage?
This was enough to get them off my daughters back. The previous tenant had run up thousands of pounds worth of bills and debt.

I would also put it writing to them that you will be looking for substantial damages for harassment, worry and damage to your reputation should they send you either a more threatening letters or b turn up with a baillif and that you have a copy of all previous letters sent to them lodged with your solicitor.

It might wake them up. especially when you take them to the county court for wasting the courts time. I'd have thought they need the court officials on their side and they don't seem to know what they are doing.

Bob696:
Are the letters addressed to you (or the occupier)? Then you probably have a case for harresment.

If they arnt addressed to you then what are you doing opening them. Thats illegal  :wink:  In this case just mark the letter "unknown at this address" and pop it back in the post

Thats the best one yet, also you could register the previous occupants name on the Mailing Preference Service . That might stop some of it making it through in the first place.

Good Luck!

You didn't answer the question of whom they are addressed to!

If they are to the named person who ran up the debt, your best bet is to pay the post office (cheaper and quicker than all those calls, letters, etc that your sending) and have the mail forwarded on to another address, say the debt collectors.

Then they could run around in circles internally saying that the person lives here....... :lol:

ps: a debt is a debt. the debt collection company buys the debt of the owed company and its then up to them to get the debt recovered.

a friend owed £500 to a credit card company, after 9 years of searching for him, they found him, got the court order and stuff and recovered over £20k of his goods to cover the owed value + interest (£11k) by the time they had resold the £20k worth of stuff, they got their £11k
