Still getting Credit card applications to old address.

Hi

I moved out of my parents house in February into my own house. I changed everything address wise and updates my address on the electoral roll. I was still getting "your approved" letters for Aqua etc to my parents house for some reason.

Now my parents are moving and will be selling their house to someone who will let it out to tennents. I'm worried that these letter will still keep going there, and how much of my personal information they already have on them.

Is there something I've missed that keeps them still going there ? I don't mind getting the letters as they just go straight in the bin hahaha.

Thanks

    you/your parents need to mark it as 'not known at this address'.

    They letters should stop soon once they receive the updated details but it can take a while for it to filter through

    These are not applications are they? They are marketing correspondence which will probably continue for ages.
    Apart from your name what personal information do these letters contain? None.
