    if you feel that way, then give the bailiffs the forwarding address you have.
    All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)

    A bit unfair on the parents though of this woman? Maybe they moved to get away from this? Daughter may have used the address but not lived there.

    Haha! Thanks again for the suggestions! It is easy to just ignore. It's not bothering me that much. Might sound silly but I don't want to just let them get off Scott free. It's annoying that ppl think they can just run up debts then run away when others do the right thing and face up to their mistakes responsibly.


    You bought your property from the parents, not the daughter who is the person being chased for debt.

    You have tried the mobile numbers for the parents and texting them but feel you have been ignored and you don't like being ignored and are now putting them in the same category as their daughter.

    Maybe you have not received a response from the parents because they are no longer using those mobile phones. In that case you are not being ignored, your message isn't getting through. Maybe they no longer live at the place to which they moved when you bought from them.

    Don't let the daughter's problems affect your view of her parents.

    Try forwarding future mail to their address. It doesn't cost you anything - but do leave it so the original address can be read by Royal Mail but clearly marked as being forwarded to the new one. (If they have moved on, the new owners may themselves then do a "return to sender" exercise which in itself helps suggest that they are no longer at your address.)
  • Give the address, you have no responsibility to the parents or the daughter. Why should you protect them?
