Debt letter for x partner

Options
Hi all, I received a letter at my address for my x partner. It said that they had heard this might be his address. He's not lived here for 3 and a half years.

How would they get this as a possible address? From looking at credit bureaus? I have done 2 financial diss-associations one on experian and one on noddle prior to this letter?

I don't want other people contacting him here eeek.

    Hi,
    Dont be tempted to contact these people, just put the letter in the post :
    "return to sender-not at this address"

    You risk all kinds of hassle from debt collectors if you respond to any of these letters, dont ring, dont write, best advise is to ignore further contact from them.

    You may need to do 3. Equifax, Experian and Callcredit.

    They are just fishing. Ignore them.
