That was what was written on the envelope that greeted me on my arrival home yesterday. I looked at it with apprehension, until I realised that it was addressed to a Mr D Bournville, a previous tenant. The letter was from the local Debt Management section of the HM Revenue & Customs. Apparently Mr Bournville has been lax in paying his tax: £5411.09 to be precise. This final reminder was obviously delivered by the bailiff. The letter threatened to "levy distraint on [his] goods," which I found quite worrying. They could have removed all of my stuff while I was at work!
I've just phoned up the Debt Management Office to clarify the situation so everything's sorted out now. This little episode has put into perspective how paltry my debt problems are compared to others.

That's good news, pass on my congratulations to James when you see him next at work. Has he finished his house yet?
