Cabot Financial

Hi
A letter arrived at our house today addressed to a previous tenant (opened in error). The letter is from Cabot Financial chasing an outstanding debt and mentions that the previous tenant has not contacted them or repaid the sum owed, with the matter forwarded to their solicitors.

We do not have a forwarding address for the letter. Should I contact Cabot and tell them the person no longer lives here or will that just get me caught up in somebody else's problem?

any advice?

Just put it in the bin?If another arrives,and I'm sure it will!,mark it not known at this address,and throw it back in the post.

I would have done as bigccbalance suggests... but now I'm curious as to how the debt collector verifies that the person no longer lives at the address?

Simple enough ,

Ask a postman , or ask a neighbour.
It is not a crime for anyone to ask if someone is still at the address they have been given.
Most address type queries would not be debt collector type calls.

Just bin it, Cabot are a bunch of chancers, seriously if you contact them they would hound you, I know it’s not your debt but Cabot will not know this and think your pulling a fast one


trust me bin it that’s all you need to do they are just fishing they buy a bunch of old unpaid loans esp credit cards ones and then send out letters and if 10% reply that’s good enough for them to make a profit
