These are arrangements of expediency and mutual convenience. However one client has recently fallen into serious debt and county court letters bailiff threats etc. are now turning up at my address needing swift phone calls and recorded delivery responses.
Now in his case unwisely we also allowed other business correspondence to be sent here after his emigration. But do HMRC ever share agent 'accommodation addresses' with collection agencies?

Is there any central contact point where one can correct the wrongful address link?
