Purchased a house Dec 2006 and moved in
Following that we where getting a vast amount of post for previous occupants - not a problem I thought, we will give them a ring and let them know
They came round once and collected a bagful of post (LOADS of the stuff) and thanked us
Agin we recived more mail, we phoned a couple of times and they never came and collected it, so we started to write "no longer living at this address" on the mail and posted it back
As the weeks have gone on the mail has pretty much stopped - however have noticed we seem to still be getting a lot which are obviously from Banks, Building Societies and Credit Card companies. Again we just wrire "no longer living at this address" on them and post them back
Anyway, today I opened a letter from the Tv Licencing people in error as I was expecting one from them. Anyway it was for the previous occupant, I admit to reading it
Anyway - it turns out the previous occupant purchased a TV in March this year and would seem has given this my address when purcasing. TV licecing say this is the THIRD letter they have sent saying they have no record of the previous occupant having a TV licence at this address.
Its all very strange, we will be phoning TV Licence people up to advise they have been given the wrong details (and to confirm with them we have a licence) but can anyone advise on what we should be doing about this ?
Am I worrying too much ? Or could we end up being liable for debt etc taken out at this address ?
