Very odd note put through the door.

HeidiHoHoHole, 19 December, 2008 at 16:52 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 23

I've just had a note put through the door that says:

Dear Occupier

Sorry to bother you. A family member has sent a card to this address with money in for my grandchildren. I would be grateful if you could forward it on to the address below......

Many Thanks

That's it, no name, no anything. Now, the only other people who have lived in this house are the previous owners and they left behind them a string of debts and a lot of aggro for us. That's why they've put no name on it, so I don't guess it's them, isn't it? The cheeky fucking fuckers!

Leaving us to deal with all their shit and then having the brass neck to ask me to forward on a card at my expense? I should bloody coco

<There has been no card with money delivered here, by the way>

    ? Shame you don't know where they live or you could write a note back, i'd like to read that one ?

    Did you see Armstrong and Miller on the Royal Variety? You've just reminded me.

    It never fails to shock me the brass neck some people have, maybe just forward a few bailiffs letters instead..

    I am waiting for the same thing to happen to us. The people who lived here before owe some scary amounts from the number of baliffs we have had at the door/final notices we have received from different companies. The council came round the other day seeking 60k from them and we already know they owe 50k to someone else.

    We have had a Christmas card for them and although I haven't opened it, I think there is money in there. My landlord would tell me to burn it I'm sure considering they stole all his furniture as well as left all these baliffs coming round all the time.

    I do have an address, Sun, the one they want me to forward the non existant card onto. That's why they didn't put a name because I know what they're bloomin' called. I hadn't thought of writing back, but I just bloody might, I'm screwing!

    Titchbunny, exactly!

    I'd be sorely tempted to write and say that no such card ever arrived, and use the cash (assuming it ever arrives) to buy wizzy some girlie fripperies. ?

    I'm getting more gobsmacked by the sheer cheek of it the more I read it. I wish I'd read it as soon as it came through the door but I didn't go and get it immediately because I thought it was a leaflet or something. Jaysus, I'd have been out the door so fast after them if I'd seen it in time ?

    Lou, I'd set fire to it before I'd forward money onto those fuckers, 18 months I've been receiving their shite. Grrrr ?

    You've spent it haven't you? Own up.

    Cheeky cnuts. Write back telling them you've assumed they're the previous occupier so you've passed on their address to the bailiffs who keep calling for them.

    I had a card today for "<my name>, Mr Sweetie, MasterA & the runts". SOunds like a 70's prog rock band. If MrA reads "runts" he'll go mental. ?

    A couple of Christmas's ago, my (mad) nan didn't know what number I lived at so guessed (?) and sent money for the children to the wrong house in the road.

    I had to knock on their door and alert them to what had happened so they gave me the card.

    Maybe it's someone who has a similarly mad relative who has got the address totally wrong? Are there any similarities to their address and yours? Maybe they assume you'll know their name when the card arrives (as it'll be on there)?

    Am I being too charitable? ?

    If I get it I'll spend it that's for sure, MA.

    Oh dear, who on earth could have sent a card with the word 'runts' on it! I bet it was Mrs Jess....?

    I think so, our addresses couldn't be more different. Oh no, I've got a feeling about these gobshites, in fact, I'm going to check the handwriting against a note she left me when we moved in. I'm certain I've still got it somewhere <must learn to let go> ?

    I'd forward the card onto them tbh but would also pass their new address to all the people chasing them for money and give it to any bailiffs that come knocking.

    You'd think if it would be anyone, it would have been her, but no. Someone else dissed my childer. And such a lovely religiously themed card as well. I'd have expected better tbh.

    ? runts.

    Ahh, the religiously themed card was surely to lull you into a false sense of security before you were hit with the hideous insult on the inside. Shame on them! Careful now, down with that sort of thing.

    Mrs Jess must have got someone else to send it.

    wss. You won't need to pay for it. Just stick "not at this address. please forward to..." and bung it in the next post box you go past.

    But you have their new address...I'd send that in a christmnas card to the cerditors, what they have done is theft and you shouldnt be left to deal with it forever and a day.

    What do you mean theft? you're making a massive number of assumptions...

    I too would get Izzy something if it turns up. Or give it to charity. either way, not bother sending it to cheeky feckers.

    The people who lived there before I mean, the one's who owe loads of money and have obviously not informed their creditors of their new address, otherwise why would they be chasing them at this posters house? As the old occupants have left their new address, if I was the OP i would send their new address to the people they owe the money to and get them off my back. I dont see what i have assumed. the OP said the old occupants owed loads of money and the door to door collectors had been chasing them at her house. Its obvious in my eyes.

    Having debt collectors after you doesn't actually mean you owe the money though. they're bullies, and have a go at getting anything. also, they may not still owe the money, they could have been bankrupt, died, anything....

    If they are dead they are very talented! they must be alive if they have put a note through the door asking for their christmas card to be passed on, if they are bankrupt or settled the debt then it wont matter as there will be nothing to persue. However if it gets debt collectors off the backs of the new occupants I believe that would be the legally acceptable thing to do. Im sure if teh OP felt it was necesary then thats up to them, just a suggestion, as we had this in our last property and simply returning letters/bills etc to sender had no effect.

    [random] Jingle, why is your signature full of ? and ? men?[/random]

    HHHH, since you don't have the card with the cash in it, I think it's obvious that the right thing to do is to write a card, put some cash in, and send it on instead.

    Or maybe not.

    Sorry i keep forgettimg to change it...will do it now. It comes from a very long thread about tickers that a few people were upset with so when we were able to change it I changed it to that as a joke. Ive only just realised its still there.
