Debt collectors after previous owner

[bitslice]

I'm still waiting for some debt collectors to realise the person they have been chasing for the past two years is actually dead.

Ignore, it seems they don't actually do anything other than write letters

Would be wise to send any letters recorded postage so it gets signed for least you can prove whatever company got it on so and so date

just send letters without a stamp they will be asked by royal mail if they want to cover the cost of postage to recieve the letter.

they are pretty much garunteed to pay.

keep doing it until they stop

If you know their letters/envelopes, just cross out the address in the window and shove it back in the postbox. Repeat until the mail stops.

If you do this you need to write on the envelope "Check enclosed"

collect the letters up and return on mass thats what I did after moving in and getting weekly debt letters from previous owner.

it stopped.

Instead of a letter, send them a house brick or two in a parcel just for good measure.
