Speeding Notice Sent to Our Address

LadyMorticia

Hey everyone.

We've had, what I think, is a speeding notice sent to our address for someone who doesn't live here. This is the second notice now and I found out that the person it's for lives in the same road (I Googled her name as it's unusual and she is the director of a company) so we posted it through her door (this is before we knew what it was and we found out it was the Speed Enforcement Unit by Googling the PO BOX return address.)

Today we received another letter for this person to our address from the Speed Enforcement Unit and I'm not sure whether she's has given out a false address or whether it's a genuine mistake.

The dilemma I have now is do we post this one through her door or do we return it to sender?

This person has never lived at this address.

Thank you.

Return to sender not known at this address I'd suggest. And since she's done nothing to rectify the situation even though she now knows the letters are going to the wrong address, I'd be inclined to give them her correct address.

Are your addresses similar? e.g. She lives at 15 and you live at 51.

Return to sender. 100%. you did the polite thing the first time and this is a spending fine. What happens when she uses your address for something else.

It is as you said not like she has just moved from the address and this is an innocent mistake. Not nice but equally has to be done.

I have read about this before, registering at a house in the same street as you live to avoid fines etc, then claiming genuine mistake if caught out, suggest you check with the DVLA what is registered at your address.

Thanks for your advice everyone. I'll return it to sender. We put it through her letterbox the first time, just assuming it might be something related to her business and a genuine error. It was only when this second letter arrived today that I Googled the address and saw where it was from.

Not all all. We live at 2 and she lives at 8!

I am worried that she is using our address to get out of this fine. My husband and I have a clean record. Never been in trouble with the police, caught speeding, no parking fines etc so I really don't want our address to be 'tarnished' if that makes sense?

Take a photocopy before you get rid of it 'not at this address' and send an email to the DVLA and tell them your suspicions, ask them to amend the incorrect data and/or to investigate, telling them her correct house number.
