The person is my husbands ex wife and we dont know where she has moved to. She had to move due to a court order and has obviously done a runner from her debts. In the last week we have received two of them amounting to £18,000. We have contacted the companies, but is there anything we can do to put a stop this.

Just return them to sender as 'no longer at this address'. We had this at our old place - a debt-ridden woman had left the place we rented. The bailiffs turned up a couple of times and were fine when they ID'd us and confirmed we weren't her.

We had letters coming to our house for the tenant before, I opened one and contacted the debt company to tell them this man doesn't live here anymore, they send out searchers on their computers to track them down as usually they'll open another account or can be found at a different address. They'll get caught one way or another

I think the best move is to approach your Local County Court to have Injunction made against this person. Also you can
have a Court Order made against this person for Harassment
also they will have the addresses of local Solicitors who deal with this type of case.

Did you contact the company by letter(cease and desist). You can try writing a letter to the company and by law they cannot contact at all by phone or mail.
In my case I have more than a couple collector's so I drafted the letter leaving a space to write in each creditor and make copies so all you'll have to do is write creditor's name, sign and date, send it by mail.
It also couldn't hurt to let them know that the debt is not yours.

Go to CAB (Citizen Advise Borough) and they will write a nice letter that you don't have any associations with his ex. And take all reports from Credit Agencies (it is only 3 major ones), check them closely and if you can find anything that can lead to that kind trouble notify them in writing about changes.

Well, be persistent with the credit card companies. If they keep doing it, contact the postal service and ask that all mail in her name be kept at the post office. She doesn't live at your address.

Go to the Citizens Adivice Bureau ASAP.

Contact the Post Office.
They should be able to return to sender automatically.
