Letters Previous Tenant Debts

My Partner is clearing and redecorating house left by a Tenant owing rent.
As various letters arrived demanding payment of debts I decided to call the Companies concerned (10 in total) to inform them of the circumstances.
All except Virgin said they would stop the letters.
Virgin asked if we had a forwarding address! They said they would continue to write to the address.
They have sent 18 letters to date so the bin will be quite full.

Just return to sender, unopened, with 'not known at this address'. I do this with the previous tenants mail who lived there before me.0

Why did you open these letters that weren't addressed to you?0

To stop having to clear heaps of paperwork.
Why did the Tenant cause damage and filth to a property he did not own?0 -
So what advice exactly are you looking for?
Clearly no whether to pass on his address. So I asume whether to bin the letters, RTS, or ring the companies?
Makes not much difference - whichever you prefer.0 -
Virgin are p'ing me the hell off. Get in touch with their Head Office - demand to deal with someone and tell them that you are construing it as harassment. You a protected by the Administration of Justices Act with amendments which clearly states that creditors "may not harass you for monies you do OR DO NOT owe".
They've just set up and have about as much common sense as a wasp flying into a drink where it will ultimately drown. (I'm being polite.)

I imagine to stop more mail coming,
The person who lived in this house received a NIP for doing 36mph in a 30 zone last week. Ah well that will teach him for being too lazy to change addresses.0
