    Not limited, but self employed, when you do a google search it comes up with my address

    If you type my company name into Google, it still shows as the accountants address, even though the place of registration has been different for more than a year now.

    With self-employment, it should be similar situation. The only thing you can do is ask Google to remove any links.

    Although you are probably committing an offence of some sort by knowingly, and infinitely, delaying the mail.

    The correct procedure is to put it back in the system.

    I used to work at Orange and as I remember it, if we got post returned "no longer at this address", I think the account was suspended or something similar - banks may be even more strict. Always send it back because someone who can't be bothered to change their address need the wake up call of having services suspended...

    Thought it was only an 'offence' if you did something to it en route to its destination. If it arrived at the correct address, I can't see anything that legally requires you to send it on anywhere. Not the recipient's responsibility and if they bin it, they bin it. Please correct me (with link) if wrong :)

    A link to what? The Postal Services Act 2000?

    That would be open to interpretation. For example, if you know the correct address and still bin it, you are delaying the delivery of the mail by not reposting it. As far as I can see, the above act doesn't specifically mention when the delay must take place, before or after the initial delivery or any time in between.
