If they understood what they were saying when they said Kol Chamiro
they would not be transgressing any Torah prohibition.

However, the Kitzur SA in 114:1 clearly says that even if you said Kol
Chamiro, if *your* Chometz was on *your* property during Pessach it
may no longer be used by anybody, ever after.
