How about printing out SteveGoodz item, and send it to your new house. (addressed to yourself)

To be honest mate I'd just let it go. The chances are that you won't be able to prove anything even if it is an offence, which I'm not sure in the circumstances that it is.
It seems your issue is with Sky for not sending the letter to your correct address, I would be having a stern word with them incase any personal information was sent or before any is.
As for them staying in the house for another month, as you have no contract you have three choices that I see:-

1. threaten to pull out of the deal (very risky if you want the house).
2. ask for compensation for the delay (additional rent payments etc).
3. give them the month.

One thing to watch is the duration of your mortgage offer, make sure is doesn't run out before any revised completion date as it won't be valid.

Best of luck

--- End quote ---

Problem is, debt collectors will hear "they don't live here any more" all the time and won't believe it even when it's genuine!  :lol: Possibly have a quiet word with Citizens Advice, see if you can bring them to account under some sort of harrassment legislation? There must be some way to force them to accept that the person they're after no longer lives there, as polite/helpful replies have been ignored.

We used to get all sorts for the last owners of this house, even ten years after moving in. Mostly begging letters and junk mail oddly enough, a real waste of paper.

Silvery Thing:
I would not bother right now and would suggest you wait until you get in your new house. If the current owners get mail delivered to you I suggest you open it, read it and then forward it onto their new address.... it will wind them up something awful :dance:

hobbit:
Dunno about the house move, good luck on whatever happens there

But with the mail, if anything is recieved addressed to another name at my address, I would write on it not known at this address and either give it back to the postie or drop it in the mail box/post office

But if I get repeated mail for said person, it has been known where I have opened one and contacted the people in the letter that there is no one here by that name, followed by why they are now sending this to us as we have been here 15 years and are still in touch with the previous occupants as they are friends (they dont mind if I open any for them though), but this person on the letter is not know to either us or the previous occupants of the house

Luckily it dont happen very often though, just my suspicious nature
