Question

Hello! I am writing an essay on "A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley" (This is the drama version of A Christmas Carol)

I am just wondering if there is a proper term for the sort of people shown to Scrooge by the Third Spirit. The people who stole items (such as his bed curtains) when he had passed. If not, it is no big deal, if there is and you know it, wonderful!

Thank you!
