Maybe I'm over reacting, but I thought I would run this situation by you guys with the legal expertise.
By mistake, I opened a letter that was posted to my home, but was not addressed to me, instead it was addressed to a person I had a business with sometime back. I have not seen my ex business partner in a long time and do not have their forwarding details bar a mobile phone number.
The letter in question was from a solicitors practice on behalf of a bank looking to collect a large sum of money that this person had borrowed.
I rang the person in question, who is now mortified that I know their personal information and that this letter had been posted to my address.
Having discussed the situation, I have since learned that the person has no fixed abode and has tried to service the debt via debt management services.
To get to the point I am slightly annoyed that this solicitors practice would send this information to my address and threaten that they will seek judgment within seven days.
