It sounds like you're caring more than you need to. If the name on the
envelope isn't yours, you shouldn't be openning it, let alone wasting
your time caring about it. Debt is owned by a person, not by an address.
Just keep RTSing them.

Now if Telstra somehow managed to terminate _your_ service with them
because of it, I'd be kicking up a stink.

I do agree re: openning an account with an incorrect address. Don't
Telstra need two pieces of ID, one showing (what is likely to be) your
current address (eg, recent bill from another utility, current driver's
license), before you can open a telephone account?
