Small claims court case against Evri filed using my home address as the Defendant's

as per the title, I've rather unexpectedly received a Money Claim Response letter from HMCTS (HM Courts & Tribunals Service) with delivery company Evri as the Defendant at my home address. I've lived here for over 10 years and it has never been the headquarters of any parcel delivery service! It looks like a genuine letter and the telephone number in the letter matches that listed on the government's website at https://www.gov.uk/respond-money-claim

I'll be giving them a call tomorrow, but thought I'd first check if anyone has any suggestions on how best to deal with this? I'm not listed as the Defendant (Evri is), don't know and haven't had any dealings with the claimant, but guess it is best not ignored.

    Might be someone chancing their luck to win a claim by using an incorrect address for the defendant so that they then don't defend the claim.

    Just phone the court and let them know the mistake.

    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
