about this letter?

[StealthPolarBear]

We moved into this house two years ago and still get plenty of mail for the previous owners. They had their own business and we have strong suspicions they're in a lot of debt.
Anyway, a letter arrived the other day and they'd obviously folded it wrong so instead of the name and address, part of the letter is showing through the window (someone had realised and hand written the address but no name beside it - which I find odd, but anyway)
So obviously I can plainly see a bit of this letter, the bits I can see are:

"To of

MAY CONCERN
TAKE NOTICE that by virtue of an authority given to me by...
May 20 2009 I have this day re-attended with a view to seize...
Council as stated in the said Liability Order."

And that's all I can see. No return addrss or any indication of where it's from. What would you do?

personally I wouldn't open it, you are prepared for the situation and can show ID to anyone who turns up - the debt's nothing to do with you so nothing can happen to you surely
I have a lot of bailiffs stuff for a similar address, thought at least I know where to refer them

Open it, phone and give them their new address.

OK, going to open it...after all there's no way of proving which bit was face up in the envelope!

Open it - the previous owners of our house ran a small business from here. After some time, DH and I started opening the letters to get return addresses, then returning the letters under new cover, with an accompanying letter from us telling the company that the company was no longer at our address. Nobody queried us opening the letters.

Well it looks as though it's about a traffic violation - bailiffs are to reclaim costs. She got a few letters from the DVLA a few months ago which we returned "not at this address". Will call in the morning or Monday if no luck tomorrow. Thanks everyone.

We had this for a while. Finally got annoyed and opened the letter. When I rang the bailiffs he said I had to send a letter saying it wasn't us (and when we moved in) and a copy of a utility bill with our name on in. They get lots of 'not known at the address', not surprisingly.
