We keep getting letters from debt collectors addressed to the previous owner of the house, who left c.£300 debt on the meters when we got the keys. I've tried returning to sender with a note to say 'not here/sold house December 2021' but no change. Also messaged the estate agents as there were hundreds of other letters too (absent landlord).
Continue to ignore them/indefinitely put them in a pile in the meter cupboard? Send email to debt collection firm (haven't opened letters, but can see through the plastic window/if i hold up to the light)?
for all the paperwork involved in buying/selling a house, seems bonkers that you can get away with not proving there's no outstanding debts like this.
