Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Stick it back in the post with "not at this address" written on it

Oh, that's the lender, not a DCA. A little less dodgy.
I put the (unopened) envelope back in the post "return to sender, not known at this address, no forwarding address". I've also called my local office of
Britannia Personal Lending, and they're "looking into it".
Britannia say that the address is not theirs, but that of a consumer credit advice company. Unfortunately I have already RTS'd the letter, so this ends here until the next letter arrives.
personally id open it. Anything that lands on my doorstep is my property.
It is unlawful to open mail addressed to another person (without that person's authority).
I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.
You can also ding my gong if you prefer.

I've launched my CAG inspired site at http://hillards.webs.com/ for anyone who wants to know what the DCA's are really like, or what a CCA or SAR is... Lots of good reading!

I received an envelope from "PO BOX 140" today., and it is addressed to some woman who hasn't lived at my address in ages. I've never met her and I'm sure I wouldn't want to meet her anyway. So I did what I do with all mail I get which belongs to someone else, and that is I write "DECEASED - RETURN TO SENDER" on the front of it and pop it back in the mailbox. This really messes them up at the other end so they just close the account, end of.
