PCN From Smart Parking - But I Don't Drive?

It is an offence to open mail which was intended for someone else.

Oh dear, I wish people would think before publishing such misinformation.

A couple of years back I opened an envelope addressed to me from my bank. Inside was a letter intended for one Mr Ousely Moyniham, a person not known to me.

Please tell me tilt, what offence did I commit?

There are certain acceptions, yes. It is only an offence if you open someone else’s mail ‘without reasonable excuse’ But I don't think this constitutes reasonable excuse.

True.

I was merely pointing out the error of your post (no pun intended)

What? Even though it's what the CAB state?

None, as it was addressed to you. :doh:

I posted according to the OP's info. Thus no error as the info was appropriate.

Are you seriously suggesting that advice from the C.A.B. should be taken seriously?

You seems to be contradicting yourself Tilt, I hope that you do not work for the CPS.

You posted

"It is an offence to open mail which was intended for someone else"

You could have worded it in a way specific to the OP but chose not to, instead you posted something that was incorrect.

Oh sorry... seeing as you think the CAB isn't a reliable and trusted source of advice, what about this one?

Hmm.. must be unreliable as well as it seems to be saying the same thing.

Please be good enough to explain.

Here we go again...

OP put the letters in the bin, not your name = not your problem.

That's what I love about these forums sometimes, there's always one that will split the thinnest of hairs to win an argument.

Ok, let me explain myself. My information was aimed at the OP specifically as I cannot see any reasonable excuse for opening a letter intended for someone else from a private parking company.

So there was no need to mention (in my opinion anyway), the "without reasonable excuse" bit. :wall:

It is entirely possible that someone could have read your post and believed it to be true.

Which it isn't.

There are no split hairs.
