Vendor nightmare - break in and visiting property

31 replies

So turned out the vendor didn't hand over all the keys and broke into our house 6 days after completion and we moved in. Luckily I was in, her excuse was that she needed to do meter readings. I took the key off her and spoke to our solicitor and estate agent. The estate agent said he had words, and we changed our locks.

Problem is now the vendor keeps coming to the property asking about her letters, which we have forwarded onto her new address as requested.

It turns out that from googling the po box address on some of ghe letters are debt collection agencies, also a concern is credit cards arriving for members of the family who were not living at the address.. We have sent this back to the sender.

However - Where do we stand with the vendor keeps coming to the property?
Would like to know what you would do and what rights we have ?

Buy a "not known at this address" stamp or sheet of stickers and stamp/sticker and chuck back in the post box.

I had a lot of grief (bailiff's, police etc etc) with someone fraudulently using my address years ago (I suspect a postie was involved as per Handsoff's case).

Put the stuff back in the post - cross out your address and put RTS (Return to Sender) NKATA (Not Known at This Address) or NLATA (No Longer at This Address.

She's waiting for something specific to be delivered so she can intercept it I reckon.

I would report her to the police as she's committing fraud - clearly

I can't see any reason why you wouldn't report this to the police. Aside from concerns about fraudulent activities, she broke into your house!

She’ll probably turn up tomorrow just after the postman has been.
