Why would it cost you anything? Isnt the tenant liable, or at least shouldnt they be, if the tenancy agreement has the relevant terms.

Getting the money from the tenants would be hard as the deposit would have been handed back a while ago. You could just ask them for the money, but if they don't pony up, it's an expensive way to learn that you only hand the deposit back after everything is accounted for.
But in theory, if the bills are in the tenants' name, you could go back to the organisations and say 'it's not me'. Not sure what would happen if you do.

It shouldn't and yes the tenant is liable, and if the letting agent actually decided to honour the agreement then I wouldn't be out of pocket. The letting agency are being cu&ts about the whole thing and have been through the whole sorry painful episode. They won't give me or don't have a forwarding address for the tenants. A year later and I'm still getting bank statements/HMRC letters and other post for them. I have a lawyer friend who's willing to help me out.

Just discovered my bastard tenants from last year didn't pay the last 2 months of council tax so just been dumped with a £249 bill, that along with not getting a final bill from the energy people they switched or in fact letting them that there were leaving and the a thames water bill they didn't bother to pay, has cost me nearly £500 fuckers
