Currently having a lot of correspondence for a family member I no longer have contact with. We have the same initials, and lastname and appears debt collection agencies have, well for a while now sent me letters and sometimes cards threatening to send round investigators to find the where-a-bouts of said person.
At first, I started to send the letters back as not at this address. That didn’t work, I then proceeded to use the return address to try and locate the company to call and request no more letters. But the agency letters are from various companies and without ref: number they will not do anything.
I’ve also been getting cards, addressed to the present occupier requesting them to call. I have and they try to coach as much information as possible, I’ve explained I do not know the location or where-a-bouts of this person.
Yet, the letters still persist in being sent, so I’ve now opened them, getting ref: numbers and called. So far its been collection agencies in Hull and Leeds, all for alarming amounts of money. One of them is for over 12K. I’ve explained to them no one by this name lives where I am, despite having the same initials. I’ve explained they have the right last name, and right first initial, but wrong first name. To no avail. They still persist in letters.
I’ve explained its harassment, I’m being pestered and to stop, they say they will. But they don’t. What can I do?
I think what’s promoted this, is that I’ve now had a bloke call at my house to confirm my identity. I never invited him in, I wasn’t about to do so, could have been anyone, and polity asked him to leave otherwise I’d call the police. He promptly left.
I have no debt, and I don't like getting letters for someone elses problems, wish I knew where they were, I'd chop them in to stop this.... to run up debts like that, and not pay - disgraceful - but then this is why I no longer speak to that person, idiot..!! Wonder if he's still in the country.
