Bailiff's letter addressed to non-resident - what to do?

  • Good advice but you dont even have to go that far. If your name isnt on it,just bin it and forget about it.

    Most of the time if you enter into correspondence with these people they will either

    a)berate you for opening someone elses mail
    b)disbelieve you and keep harassing you as youve been foolish enough to respond.

    I repeat again...not your name...? Bin it.

    Ignoring the problem and hoping it will go away is not always the best option. In the case of something like a private parking ticket (Parking Eye, for example) I would agree. But in this case, there had been several previous letters that I returned to sender which had no effect. In retrospect, I might have been better advised to open the first letter and inform the relevant authority then, despite RTS being the advisable option.

    You may argue that it is not my problem, but if a bailiff arrives at my house and takes my car (see my earlier comment about 'take first, ask later') it will be a nightmare to get it back. It might not happen, but it could, and I can't take that risk.
