Short answer As above ^^^
My two penneth of experience (not specific to NIP but..) I've had issues with a previous house owner leaving bad debt and repeatedly sending them back to the return address did the trick eventually although it probably took a couple of years for them to stop coming. My folks have had this issue for years from someone who managed to get credit from their address (someone who they know had never lived there) and the debt company it ended up with just churns out letters forever it seems. The bank who the debt was with originally gave them £200 compensation for the inconvenience a while back but the letters keep coming (with sod all tangible action on behalf of the debt collectors).

Legalities of opening up someone else's mail aside (IANAL), you could always open one and find out what you are dealing with, especially if you end up with more than one of the same thing (as in send the first back as "not known" and open the second). I think I kept a record of what I was getting so I knew when it was something from the same company. This way you've sent an anonymous "not here" response and they (the man/debt collection company/entity that will prosecute you for opening mail that wasn't addressed to you) have no way of knowing that you haven't done the same with second and it possibly just got lost in the post.
Probably need some proper legal person's confirmation here but as far as I understand the law changed a while ago so that a debt can't be held to an address just a person (edited to add: or registered keeper in the case of NIPs but there are differences between the types of liability).
