PO Box Address for creditors??

Options
Hi everyone,

I have just written out my letters to my creditors and the addresses given for 3 of them is for a PO Box. Can I still send them recorded delivery? Do you think i've got the wrong addresses?

Thank you in advance!!

    If you're worried how about sending one recorded delivery and one just stamped (ok it costs you the extra stamp but might be worth it...)

    Is it not true that the Royal Mail / Post Office is still obliged, when asked, to divulge the street address of the holder(s) of a Post Office box number?

    What is given as the creditor's registered address at [link]Company House?

    PO Boxes are normal for Debt Collection Agencies. Yes you can still send letters signed for. The DCA has to send someone to pick up the PO Box mail and they have to sign for anything then (a kind of calling card is left in the PO Box saying you need to ask at the desk for your signed for mail). If no signature is received within the allotted time, the letter will be returned to you (as long as you put a return address on it, which is technically a condition of signed for post anyway).
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)
