Bailiff letter to my address to a person unknown to me

[mamothd]

I have received an enforcement letter for a civil debt in the County Court.

The problem is we don't know the person it's addressed to. The named person has never lived at my address.

I have no idea how the plaintiff got my address, but they have made a mistake.

 

I can prove via council tax and electoral records that only me and my wife have ever lived here.

We are elderly and are very worried.

 

I don't know if it's a scam, but I've looked up the enforcement company and they appear to be genuine.

 

How can I stop them chasing me for a county court judgeent which has nothing to do with me?

well rest assured there is noting they can do, they most certainly cannot force entry or anything like that.

i will guess this is a court? bailiff for a CCJ judgement and a notice of enforcement letter? how much is the debt too?

 

who's the bailiff company please?

Post back the enforcement notice with a covering letter advising that they have written to the wrong address, as no one of the name mentioned in their notice has ever resided at the address.  If it is possible include a photocopy of Council Tax and suggest they check available records to see how they have managed to write to the wrong address.

Would it be worth the OP checking the CRAs in case someone has applied for credit or a loan using their address?

You can't search cra files by address

You might include in the letter that if they check the Register of elector's along with the enclosed Council tax Bill, they will see that the named debtor does not live at your address.  Might have made an error in street name or number though.  What bailiff firm is this.
