Past Due Credit Solutions?

Accidentally opened a letter, addressed to a previous tenant.

Turns out it's from Past Due Credit Solutions, regarding £11-odd due to Sky TV.

Is it worth resealing and returning it, marked "NOT AT THIS ADDRESS"?

    Yes. They will eventually get the message as it costs them to get them returned.

    Done it a few times and the letters get less frequent.

  • Thanks for that.

    I'll pop it in the post box, on the way to work tomorrow.
  • Just got another letter from them.

    Haven't opened this one, but I know it's them, because the return address is the same.

    I would contact them by phone and tell them the person they're writing to doesn't live there, or write to them and enclose the letter they've sent rather than just putting 'return to sender' and sending it back.
    What will your verse be?

    Just make sure they don't get your phone number though..

  • I don't just put "RETURN TO SENDER".

    I put "NOT AT THIS ADDRESS"

    The last time I rang a DCA (in that case it was Wescott), to tell them the addressee didn't live at my address, they got really stroppy, and wouldn't listen.

    I ended up hanging up on them.

    It'll be better for my blood pressure (not to mention my mobile phone charges), if I just keep sending them back.

    What do they have to get stroppy about? The addressee doesn't live there, you're just giving them factual information!

    Hopefully they'll get the message this time if you send it back.

    They accused me of lying, saying that the addressee did live at my address.

    A subsequent letter, addressed to "The Occupier", began:-
    Mr ******* (the name on the outside of the previous letters)

    You have returned our letters, but we KNOW you live at this address.

    Sounds like a report to the police for harassment may be in order.

    write in red felt tip across the letter no he does not. put in in an addressed but not stamped envelope. repeat every time they send a letter.
