Cabot Financial

Accidently opened a letter we received today for the previous tenants who moved out nearly 2 years ago, addressed from Cabot Financial.

Basically says:

Dear .....

We can confirm that we will be calling

On: 7th December 2006

Between: 8am and 8:30pm

If this is inconvenient please telephoned **** *** ****


I work for a collection agency but have never seen a letter like this before, is this a letter to say bailiffs are coming round or a letter saying that someone from Cabot Financial are going to do a field visit to discuss repayment?

What should we do in this situation? I would hate to think people are calling out to our property while we are at work

Thanks

I would stick it back in the envelope and put 'not known at this address' and they should not write anymore letters to your address.

Thanks newmum1, will do that

Isn't that what the intended recipient might do though? Do you think they'll believe you?

Chances are that they wouldn't come out anyway, but as it is a case of mistaken identity, why don't you call them and explain that you are the new tenant and that you are not aware of the location of the previous occupiers.

Even if they do come to your home, don't let them in (have some form of id available to prove who you are). They don't have a court order they don't have a right to enter and don't have a right to confiscate your stuff.
