Wescot pursuing me for unknown person's debt

Hi..Wescot are sending demnds to my postal address, but in the name of a Luci J Anscombe, who I have never heard of and who I am sure has never lived here in the last 30 years at least. This means that dear Ms Anscombe has pinched my address I assume, but whilst I am happy that my c cards are not cloned etc., has anyone else had the same sort of problem and has anyone else any advice ? Thanks to anyone who can help (including dear Luci !!:mad: )

    You do need to tell them you are not that person and the date that you moved to that address. I'm lucky in that I am in a rented house (housing association) so I gave the collection agency the landlords address and just let the two slog it out!
