We opened a letter to our business address without looking at the addressee name. When we opened it , it was not for us and the name was totally unknown to us. It was from a Debt recovery company chasing a private car parking fine, and threatening court action.
We have is that we have been at the address since 2016 and the fines relate to a period prior to Nov 2015 when we weren't there. Our worry is that as the debt company have our address even if we are not the named party in the letter. Could this affect us credit wise, even worse, have debt collectors arrive at the door.
We've looked at review sites of the Debt Collection company and see that they have 1* out of 5 ratings in the main, for not listening. So hesitant to actually phone them and waste my time, as so many others appear to have in the past.
Is there any way of legally make them understand that their addressee is not at our address, and as far as we know may never have been? A well-worded template to actually post to them would be good.
Thanks, and appreciated if anyone can help.
