    Business Mail Received, Addressed in the Name of an Unknown Person
    My question involves business law in the state of: WV

    I own a registered business, Core Security and Protection LLC, and recently I received a letter in the mail from Comcast addressed to "Luis Morales" with my business and business address. I have no person by that name working for me. I'm new to the business world, is this something I should be concerned about? Should/can I take legal action against Luis if he exists?

    *The letter was a solicitation not a bill of any kind.

    Thank you.

    So what is the letter? If it has your business name, I'd open it. If it doesn't, I'd just mark "NO SUCH PERSON AT THIS ADDRESS" and return it.

    It's one of those solicitation letter with an "Offer" from Comcast

    It's addressed:

    Luis Morales
    Core Security and Protection LLC
    (Business Address)
    (City) (State) (Zip Code)

    I'm just annoyed that this person is falsely using my business name and address.

    When you asked Comcast how they came up with that name, what did they tell you?

    Your ascribing a lot to malice that's probably just incompetence on Comcast's part. Luis may be a former person at your business address or he works for some other "Core" something or other and they somehow merged him with your identity.

    Oh for the love of heaven. Talk about first world problems. No, you cannot take any kind of legal action against this person, should he really exist, for "falsely" using your business name and address for what is clearly a clerical error. But even if you should somehow be able to come up with absolutely proof that he deliberately and knowingly gave Comcast your address instead of his own, you STILL couldn't sue him because you don't have any damages.

    Throw it in the trash and find something that's actually worthwhile to worry about.
