Orange as got me in a twist.

Today I had a letter off Orange stating I owe £54.41 on a account with them.
I have never been with Orange, I have Tesco pay as you go. It is not my name on the correspondence, it is my address, the street name misspelled. The name of the person it supposed to be is Miss C A Weighell. They give a telephone number to discuss the account.

Do I need to bother about this as it's nothing to do with me?

Thanks.

    Personally as you've opened it I would give htem a phone and let them know. Its possible its just a mistake on the address but a quick call should highlight it to Orange.

    No its nothing to do with you
    You could contact Orange if you want but you don't have to but may be easier in long run to just let them know the person as never lived at your address

    Or just put on the letter Don't live at this address and put in post box or give to postman .

  • I'd return it to sender. Perhaps put a cover note in to state this person has no association with your address.
