    Until a CCJ is issued they have as much power as the milkman does. Just simply return everything not known at this address.

    I would suggest though, if you are getting a lot of mail and potentially house visits, not a bad idea to push them to where the debtor is if you know to save having idiots turn up and try and lie to you about the debt

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
