PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

I had this from an insurance company - guy had used my address ( never lived here - I bought from new ) In the end I wrote a formal complaint. They investigated, apologised and sent me £50 to say sorry. I didn't want bailiffs turning up at my door - even though it's not my debts - its grief I could do without.Stuck on the carousel in Disneyland's Fantasyland

Baillifs dont turn up unless there's an outstanding CCJ.
If there was, you'd have received the court papers at your address.
Debt Collectors are not bailiffs (though this is confusing when the same company runs 2 services)0
