Person gave our address as their own, what to do? - 22nd Mar 2012 1:59am
What should be done about the following matter.
My two adult children live in the house we own in Wirral.
At least three times in the last 6 months the police have called round asking if a young girl (I won't give the name) lives there. Both times either my daughter or son have said no and there has never been a person or family with that surname living there.
Letters have come to the house from I believe the Wirral Children's services addressed to this unknown individual, to which my daughter crosses out the name and address and writes on the envelope 'return to sender, not known here'.
Today another individual called (not the police, but I'm not sure who) and asked once more for this unknown female, stating she was a missing child. What bothers me is, 1. who is this person? 2. Why do the authorities have our address for her, and why did she provide it to someone at some point? 3. Why, when you constantly tell police or counselors that she has never lived there do they still come to the house asking if she's there or have you seen her? Now I know there is a road on Wirral with the exact same name but with a different post code, ( which I think is daft that there are roads with the same name in such a small area)
What concerns me is that if this missing person has given our address to others who may not be 'nice', if they come to the house and demand to know where she is or worse, become violent.
How can we put an end to this? Any ideas?
