Quick question about creditors and debtors etc

I then called the collection agency and they informed it was for the previous owner of my home and that they would remove this, bearing in mind I purchased my current home from him back in 2011.

My question is simple, they sent me another collection letter today, named to "gentlemen" again and not my actual name nor the previous owners name.Can this go against my credit?
