I could call them a !!!!, or a !!!!, or a pain in the !!!!, or a !!!! wit, but the swear censor blocks it lol.

However, !!!!!! gets thru as does !!!!!! lol

to be honest, I've never opened a letter I know wasn't addressed to me. I've opened loads addressed to other people, but once it comes through my letterbox, I never read them, I just open them.
If I did though, I'd need to open them to see if it was important.
Example above, could be the dvla contacting the owner in case someone was trying to defraud him.
Also the finance company know it has been correctly delivered.

Even if it has the wrong name on, if the address is right, it's correctly delivered, (not correctly sent possibly).

If the doc is in the OP's name, but at a different address, what's to stop him requesting a new V5 with a change of address?

But if it was post was delivered to Barry Chuckle, Harvey Towers, Warrington then I can open it as it has come to my address. Rather than it being delivered to me BUT addressed to Barry Chuckle, BBC Television, London W12 6LA - as that would be "incorrectly delivered", as per the above law.

When the odd letter arrives to my house, I check the address is correct and if it is then I just write RTS not known at this address and send it back without opening it.

He says it's already in his name but at the finance co's address, so he doesn't need to change the name, only the address.

Any reason why he couldn't complete a V62 to request a replacement certificate be sent to his "new address"?
