letter box in repo house?

The letter box in the house that has been reposessed? Do they seal it up? I mean, there will be a pile of letters and junk mail, i'm guessing some really personal stuff there too from cross over of moving. If it is sealed does the postal worker just pop them in their bag and get it returned to sender with 'not at this address'??

  • They normally seal the letter box and put a notice of repo in the window.. The mail is then returned to sender.

    Hi MicheH, has your house already been repoed? we sealed the letter box when we left i was the same as you i didnt want anyone else seeing my post, but to be honest when a house is repoed they send in a clearing crew so anything that has been delivered or in our case left will be cleared out before its sold. if they havent taken possession of it yet and you still have a key can you go back and seal it yourself and take anything thats there already?

    It's already been repo'd but good advice there. I never thought of sealing it myself.
