A private company or individual cannot affect your credit rating without first taking you to court, then winning, then you still refuse to pay up within 28 days. Same goes for bailiffs.

So you see, this will never happen.

I have got one of these notices too (first letter) and after reading many posts here I decided not to pay these people.

I had an idea though and I was wondering if anyone tried it to stop the letters from coming through. How about returning next letter to the sender (unopened) and stating on the envelope that 'This person does not stay here anymore - Return to Sender'.

Has anyone tried this? Would this stop these companies from sending any more letters?

It might work, but I doubt it.
Every time they send a letter it costs them money

There is one company that will actually target you for a court claim if it thinks you have moved, as they think they will be in with a chance of a walk-over "win" over someone who never gets the paperwork.

A more effective tactic may be to put their letter- unopened- into another envelope and then post it back to them without a stamp. They will be unlikely to want to continue that game for long.

By the way how did you get 300 odd thanks from so few posts?

I am not telling

Thank you for an advice. I thought that these companies might give up sooner than later realizing they don't know the new address of their victim, however I guess you are right saying they might pursue it even more.
To be honest I got two of these letter from two differen places. It scares me a little bit that I have to chance it twice that they will give up and I am tempted to pay for one of these in case I was the 'unlucky' one who was taken to court on both occassions.

PS. I have edited this post and removed some of the information following advice from one of the forum members

Do not worry, wolfie. Neither of those companies EVER do court. Even if they had been "court-doers" statistically your chances of being taken to court independently by two companies would be 100 million to one against.

Athena never even write to me any more as I have never paid any of their invoices. They have me on the "not-a-sucker" database.

As you weren't driving the car, any court claim would be doomed anyway as it is only the driver- not the owner- that they could sue. So just keep "mum" and you are perfectly safe.

Hi Anna

I am based north of the border if this is what you are asking me why would that matter anyway?

It doesn't - I just wondered whether your screen name was after a RL mascot Nosy cow, me.
