Cabot financial chasing me for someone else's debt

Hope this is the right place to post this. I live in rented accommodation and since I moved in have been receiving letters for I guess a previous Tennant. Anyway, after always returning to sender as marked "gone away" i started taking a note of what was coming in via any envelope markings. I noticed a few were repeats so decided to open a few letters that were continuing to come and start contacting the companies direct to advise that the person didn't live here anymore. Anyway the majority replied apologising and taking my address off their database but Cabot are refusing to, are adamant that the person in question is still living here and have now actually told me that I need to disprove their claims via the financial ombudsman that the person has moved out. Surely it shouldn't be up to me to disprove and what do they accept as proof? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You'd be better off posting this in the main 'Debt-Free Wannabe' forum. You're in the 'diaries' section right now.

Good luck with your query.
