Experto credite letter- not my debt

Almost-free

I didn't really know where to post this question !

I have had a formal looking letter from these people saying they are chasing a debt of over £1,100 for Npower, the debt is in the name of a company my ex liquidated some years ago. The business was registered at this address, but folded without debts- this is my home and I have always had EDF for my electricity, the company (minibuses ) was only registered here but never had a contract with a power or any other utility company.

My ex has told me to ignore the letter but it worries me . I know I don't owe the money, neither does he or the old company as we didn't ever have a service from Npower. I have my experion report and the debt isn't listed on that, neither is it on my ex's credit report at his new address ( but with this address linked as a previous address, if that makes sense?)

Is it safe to ignore or should I write to them/email them?

Any advice gratefully accepted!

Is the letter addressed to you personally?

or to the old company name?

It's addressed to the company, Tixy. I wasn't an owner/director or anything, the company no longer exists at companies house but my ex is still on the deeds here- he isn't mentioned on the letter either.

I am thinking of sending the letter back to them with 'company not at this address /doesn't exist on it?

Tixy

Yep, that is what I would do in your position.

Thank you. It just doesn't feel right not to do anything- I don't want to come home one day to find a bailiff climbing through one of my windows or clamping my car!

Hello Almost-free,
