Legal Question in Employment Law in United Kingdom

I recently left a job, and within that same week, a fellow ex employee (with the same surname as myself) contacted me stating that a letter from Human Resources that was addressed to him, had information that was meant to be addressed to me privately. He forwarded the letter to myself and the letter discusses my Sick pay entitlement, and states that they had made the mistake the month priory in paying me for the day I had off for being sick. It discusses in the letter how much money was going to be deducted from my final wages. The letter is marked Private and Confidential so I do not appreciate that my personal information and finances was put in the hands of another person. Can something be done? It is very embarrassing for me.

Dear Sir / Madam,

You should doubly check with the HR Department and confirm the genuineness of the alleged lapse, prior to initiating any action.
