    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    This is difficult. The letter could be 'lost', and judgement set aside. Worth finding the circumstances first.

    If the OP has a good case then great, but you never know

    It doesn't matter, it wasn't the question the OP asked.

    No need to elaborate on it.
    Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked

    3 months rent is owed because they deliberately stopped paying once they knew they were leaving .
    Damage to property is extensive, water damage , ripped off doors, candle burns, missing inventory etc. It is a proper tenancy all documented, signed and registered.
    Am I able to issue a money claim using their work address.
    Thanks

    Not at all. What if they're off work on day of service, gets lost internally?

    Not the same as coming home to find the letter.

    If they can reasonably prove they did not receive it...
