I recently received a letter addressed to a complete stranger who has never lived at this property. I opened it up to find that they applied for credit with an online shopping site (it was declined and they were told to contact Experian and provide their addresses for 6 years).
When I rang the customer service team, they said no offence had been committed by the person who applied for credit, therefore it wasn't fraud that someone had provided an address where they did not live, but it could be a criminal offence if they succeeded in getting the credit and ordered goods. They told me it was fairly common for scammers to try their luck by using random addresses but that if they didn't live in the property, they were unlikely to ever get it, and not to worry about this.
Therefore, its my intention to open all mail at my address that isn't addressed to me in order to monitor potential fraud at my household.
That's exactly how I see it. :T0 -
