Someone is using my address, what should i do?

[ThreadWatcher]

I didnt know where to put this but decided legal matters was probaby a reasonable choice - more reasonable than nicking someone elses address anyway!

Soooo i have lived in this house for over 3 years in a small town. A couple of times i have received a letter from the local careers office addressed to someone i dont know, who has never lived here. (we have been here 3 years, landlord lived here for 14 years prior to us, so very unlikely this person ever lived here.

Now today i have a letter addressed to him from HMRC. Apart from the obvious (send it back undelivered) what do i do?

He obviously local because in the past he has been to the careers office which is a 15 minute walk from here.

Ive googled his name and can only find one person living locally with the same name (different middle initial)

I dont know what to do? - i want this sorted because goodness lnows in what other ways he might be using my address..... Although i have only had these three items of post.

All help appreciated :)

Call HMRC and ask for advice?

Ask your Landlord if he knows the person?

Thanks both

Ive just phoned HMRC (which weirdly it didnt occur to me to do) and they said i failed the security questions! Because i couldnt remeber amobile number they have for me which i havent used for 3 years!

So i have to write a letter to confirm i am me which is rather ironic given the reason i called them!

Ill talk to my landlord but i doubt he knows the person either.
