    The garden was strewn with rubbish left behind by the previous tenants. Under the blue tarpaulin lay several old mattresses

    "Over the course of the next 18 months the couple lovingly restored the house, turning it into a modern five-bedroom home. The couple believed the property's unappealing past was but a distant memory - until a torrent of letters began turning up. "

    So the tenants who had preciously been living there had filled a wardrobe up with demand letters. This new couple move in and for 18 months nothing, then a torrent of new demand letters?

    Somethings not right about that, those letters will never stop coming until someone pays up - they don't just stop for a year and a half then continue.

    You can pay to have post redirected for a time, maybe this just lapsed and the letters then started arriving there

    They could stop and restart if the company paying to collect it themselves stopped and the contract got passed on to someone new.

    They were getting multiple letters from different companies, why would they all stop at the same time then resume at the same time?

    I have a distant relative who had set up their apartment as an Airbnb, and they eventually discovered it was being used as a high end escort's pad.

    The neighbours told her???sorry but if a brothel opened up next door it would soon shut down.

    Should be, not would be. It often gets ignored for quite a while.

    No trust me, it would be shut down. You don't need to go through the authorities for everything in life

    Yeah because brothels are often run by truly lawful people, they’d say sorry and move on I’m sure. Mate You’d get firebombed by Tony Soprano and cry about it.

    Shut down by who? There’s loads in the city centre of Manchester and the police don’t give a fuck.

    They’ve been going for years, one in cheetham hill which the police are busy trying to clear out of fake goods and criminal enterprises, yet ‘Town Girls’ keeps operating with a giant neon sign

    There are ways of achieving everything in life especially if one opened up on your street.

    So violence/breaking the law yourself and getting yourself a criminal record and possibly fking up your own life? Or get harassed and putting yourself and family in harms way when they start targeting you cos they also know where you live. Yep seems smart.

    As with most things in life its not what you know, but who you know 😉 and who said anything about breaking the law?

    Well unless your suggestion is everyone know a politician who pressures the police to do something about it, if any of them even bother, then yes.

    ”To date, Lisa Freedman and her husband Elliot have received in excess of 2,000 letters chasing 'hundreds of thousands' in unpaid bills - and even one county court judgment - as well as speeding tickets, parking fines and congestion charge penalties.”

    How exactly would they know unless they opened the letters?

    That legislation you've linked is directed at 'postal operators' aka not the general public. I am paraphrasing but it is only an offense to open others mail when done with malicious intent IE to gain or withhold information for personal benefit or to the detriment of the intended recipient. It is not an offense to open mail with the intention of being able to contact the sender to Inform them that the intended recipient is no longer at that address.

    Can you point to a source for that? I paraphrased the law in my previous comment but The postal services act 2000 section 84 subsection 3 states

    A person commits an offence if, intending to act to a person’s detriment and without reasonable excuse, he opens a postal packet which he knows or reasonably suspects has been incorrectly delivered to him.

    Meaning so long as it's not to the intended recipient's detriment or if it is to their detriment but there is in the eyes of the law a reasonable excuse then no offense has been commited

    Doesn't that agree that you can open post if it's delivered to you? You just can't intend to act to the person's detriment
