I bought my house from a couple in June 2013. Ever since I've received post from them and from other people whose name I don't recognise. I regularly put "not at this address" on post and put it back into the system but in some cases it doesn't work.
When one letter came last week I could see it had red warning notices through the little envelope window so decided to open it. It's an outstanding balance for a credit card.
I opened all the mail relating to this person and another person that keeps coming to my address and in both cases there are unpaid credit cards and in one case a firstplus loan of £11K in arrears.
I spoke to the previous owners who informed me that before they bought it (it was at auction and was in a poor state which I knew about) the property was let on a room basis - this I didn't know.
I've written to all the creditors informing them that these people have not lived at my address for at least 5 years and have asked for written confirmation that my address is removed from their records.
However, I'm worried that the address won't be removed and I start getting debt collector letters or my address gets blacklisted (if that even is a "thing")
Other than writing to the creditors is there any thing else I can do?
