I guess they have to use somebody's address to get mail while they're on tour. Tell them you want a couple of concert tickets and albums in exchange.

Who does one go to with this sort of case? Someone has presented sufficient evidence to a company to get a contract of sorts using my address.

How do I protect the use of my address to just me?

I'm not sure what your concern is. Any contract is not with your address but with a person. If that person is not you, then you're not liable for it.

Personally, having informed the provider that the person does not live at your address, I'd just return all future mail to sender.

Your [sic] snide and irritating. It's perfectly clear what the poster is trying to say; most of us have the intellectual capacity to be able to read in context. Getting your kicks from deriding somebody's easily-made small error is, frankly, sad. Go and eat shoots and leaves and leave the rest of us in peace!

Like i said the phone company (who the letters are from) will not give the poster of this thread any information regarding their customer (the foreign person who this post is all about)

Typical new age !!!!!!!!....'Spelling/grammar doesn't matter any more as long as the kids are achieving the key learning objectives of the topic'.

What a load of codswallop.

Cue the 'boo hoo, me dyslexic and so was Einstein so ers nuffink rung wiv bean nut abel to right rite' brigade.

How incredibly rude of you to presume that I don't think that spelling or grammar matter. I certainly think that they do. I do not, however, think it necessary to be so fastidious as to police these forums purely for the purpose of pointing out minor errors which make little difference to the coherence of the argument.

Pitkin, BFG cryptically pointed out that rather than having written 'your' (a posessive pronoun), you should instead have written 'you're' (a personal pronoun/verb contraction). I think that most people probably understood what you meant - it's far from the 'brigade' described above, which also seems to villify people that suffer from dyslexia. In any case, it would have been far fairer on the part of BFG to have explained the error (given that it pathalogically grieves him/her to this odd extent) than to have snidely referred to it in this manner.

Luckily for the majority of us (and some of us can write perfectly acceptably), people like this are losing their voice. 'New Age?' - I don't think so, but if you can't move with the times then there is very little that you can do.

Mobile phones taken out in wrong addresses are usually used for drug dealing...

I would open the insurance letter, phone them up, and tell them that no one of that name has lived at that address, and it's fraudulent. I would then write to the company, sending the letter back, just to clarify with them that no one of that name has ever lived at that address.

Most criminals used random PAYG phones and not contract phones in the names of other individuals.
