Avon cosmetics is one of my creditors and I have asked them to update my credit files with the correct info. Well today I have had a letter asking for more info which is fine but at the bottom of the letter it says 'A COPY OF THIS LETTER HAS ALSO BEEN SENT TO THE ADDRESS SUPPLIED ON YOUR BANKRUPTCY ORDER (MY PREVIOUS ADDRESS)'

I have lived at my current address for over 3 yrs and the BR was done under this address so why they have sent a copy to my old address is beyond me and now the person who is living in my old house in my home town which is a small town is gonna get this letter with my new address on it and there are certain people that I dont want knowing my new address and I certainly dont want people from my hometown knowing I am BR I am furious that AVON have done this are they even allowed to do this HOW DARE THEY I just feel like crying I thought it was all over and no-one from my hometown would ever find out this creditor may as well have put up a billboard in the town telling everyone my business :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

They shouldn't of done that. I think you can take action for them doing that.

It is to do with fraud, if this is the first time that you have contacted them at this address they will also write to your previous address (the one they have on file for you) to make sure that no one else is trying to get information out of them pretending to be you. Believe it or not they are doing this to help you

yes but the BR was done whilst at my current address and also the AVON account was opened at the same address so my previous address shouldnt even come into it they had no reason wot so ever to write to my old address I have lived in this house for 3 1/2 yrs!!

i get post for the previous occupants and either send it back return to sender or bin it if it's junk. the people at your old house probably/hopefully won't even open it....

I don't think it's legal to open mail unless it's addressed to you is it?

So if the occupiers open it and make it public they could be in trouble.
