I am at work at the moment, but I will post it (them?) after I get home later this afternoon. I did not know this. He's asked me to throw them away, so I'll take a peek first. Just got onto the landlord for this, they're being slow. Great idea though. Thanks!

Tell me about it. It's been... interesting. I will try to get his address. Thank you for the advice, having never dealt with anything like this I was unsure. There is a POBox address, but no company name. I had no idea of this, those American TV shows always show them forcefully taking belongings. Haha. It's reassuring to know that this won't happen, but it is still a hassle to deal with them. Thanks.

Thanks Conniff. Unfortunately I do not, and the person in question will refuse to tell me if I asked him.

Hi guys, I was referred here by a colleague because you were helpful to him. I was living with a friend up until recently. He has moved to Australia (15th September he left). Since his departure we have received many letters from various companies, but I have no idea of their names. The envelopes are blank, with nothing but his name and a return PO Box address on them. This morning we received a hand delivered letter, which is the calling card of debt collectors I am lead to believe. Again I don't know the company involved. I have spoken to said housemate about this, and he said that he knows his debts and will telephone them to sort it out, but I have little faith in this. Obviously I do not wish to have debt collectors knocking at our door demanding money/goods/whatever, and I am wondering the best course of action. Thanks.
