OP - have you registered with your council at your new address for council tax?   Claiming single person occupancy?    Changed your address on the electoral role?   This should be proof enough for Lowells.

You really think this is a real dilemma? Brand new poster and then within 3 hours her ex husband just so happens to post on a brand new account as well? Can smell the bull from here.

lol.  so you think it is the same person pretending to be both??

Either that or two people in cahoots doing it for a giggle yes. Think about it. How would the husband know its him being talked about from the name of the OP and the details contained within it?

All a very very poor wind up.

the wife could have said to her ex-husband that she will post on the forum to ask for advice.  he therefore reads the post and pays attention, then he sees me saying that he told the company her address and so he posts to deny this.

if i were to do a wind up thread, i would choose a more interesting topic that is more bait worthy.  this thread topic is pretty boring so either they are not very imaginative or they are actually the husband and wife

People aren't very imaginative at wind ups on here. Or funny. Someone just copies and pastes Mumsnet threads onto here as an example.

    that is such a funny comment.

It is not desirable to comment upon the authenticity or otherwise of new posters, as I have found to my cost.

Hmm. I am a cynic, I prefer my explanation of events 🤣

They both seem to have disappeared now . . . . and the debt was for a whopping total of £46.12. Who'd chase that?

I'm starting to think you may be right, you know.

OP, short term, just keep returning the letters marked 'not known at this address'
In the event that you get someone knocking on the door, you tell them he doesn't live there.
If you are worried, have a photocopy of your lease, and/or council tax bill showing you are the sole occupant / sole adult.
Bailiffs can't enter unless you let them in, so if someone does show up, lock the door while you go and get any paperwork and then go outside to talk to them - don't let them over the threshold (it's like vampires, once they have been invited / allowed in once, they can come back in on future occasions!) 

Ask your ex to write to them specifically setting out his actual address and confirming that he doesn't, and never has lived at your address and that mail should not be sent to that address.
