No. But you cannot open the mail. Just bring the mail to the post office.

You are if you didn't return them to the post office as being sent to the wrong address. Any mail which isn't addressed to you or to the "Occupant" in general of the address at which you reside is not your mail, therefore it is illegal for you to dispose of as you wish. A felony, in fact. You need to label ir to show that the person it is addressed to doesn't reside there and return it to the postal system.

Heck no you aren't responsible!! Take the unopedned bills and write return to sender, not this address. If they are calling you, then tell them if they can provide a signature form where you signed it to incurr the debt, then you and your lawyer will consider payment and until then, leave you alone. It even worked that way during my divorce with my ex. They tried to get me for his failure to pay for his truck, furniture and a few other loans and things. So I told them to send me a copy of the where I signed a contract with them, then I would try to pay them, otherwise they could leave me alone. It works!!! That is also what my lawyer told me was the right thing to do!
Hope this helps!

No, but since it's not your mail, you should write "NO LONGER AT THIS ADDRESS" on the envelope and put it in the system to be sent back to the company that sent it. It's possible that the person skipped town, or its possible that they just never put in a change of address with their creditors. If you forgot to change your address, you'd appreciate it if the person at your old address sent the mail back.

no you aren't, it's a good idea to write "return to sender,
not at this address" on the envelope and mail it, you dont have to stamp it, just put it in a post box, that way the sender knows that the person no longer lives at that address and
stops sending the mail to your house (hopefully)

i dont know, i would just cross out your address, write "not at this address" and put it back into the mailbox, maybe the mail people can forward it and the recipient will realize they havent changed their address with that company
