I did this. The report they sent claimed that the former resident of my apartment was still living here. I guess I could write back to correct it, but I also wonder if allowing the mistake to remain would provide me with plausible deniability if anyone ever tries to use my credit report against me.

If your credit is messed up, you will have other issues to contend with besides erroneous addresses.

Side note: if you did have an outstanding debt, a collection agency might serve the wrong person. This could trigger a law suit... Or some sort grief for some undeserving person. :(
