Will wrongly address Debt recovery letters affect my credit?

I am concerned after receiving 2 debt recovery letters have arrived this week to my address, it's sent to an ex boyfriend of my daughters but using our address! I have sent them back return to sender unknown at this address, and have emailed one of them, there was no email for the other.
However I know our mortgage has only 5-6 years left to run and will need to extend this, I rang a few months back and they informed me this shouldn't be a problem I just need to phone back with income/outcome expenditure etc. but now I am worried these will effect our credit rating, we don't have any loans , 1 credit card with zero balance (used only for travel) and have never been in debt. I have never taken out a credit rating as I thought even that affects your credit rating, can anyone give me some advice I am extremely worried.
Many thanks

No impact at all.
Credit files belong to individuals not to addresses.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -
Note Tixy says credit files, not credit ratings because these do not exist.0
