Registered letter with no enclosure.

teamgb

Thank you all for your replies. We are not expecting any deliveries from ebay or any other supplier. It could be post code IG11 0JP but it is clear H and does not look like 11 and the number is a clear 72.



I am also concerned that someone is trying to set me up with a claim that they sent a registered letter. But what it could be about I have no idea.


This conversation may in fact help me to dispute any such claim.

Ring Royal Mail and speak to them. Post the response.......or not

If you havn't sold anything on ebay then my best guess is debt collection company trying to see if you exist?

Now you mention this I recall reading something about debt collectors using this method.


But I can assure you I have no unpaid debts.

Might be worth looking at your credit report, to make sure no one else has taken out finance in your name.

The only other thing I could think of is that it!!!8217;s a poor attempt to get hold of a copy of your signature. But the signatures on the pads used by Royal Mail and other delivery companies tend to bear no resemblance to reality as they are so difficult to use.

Thank you. I check our credit reports at least once a month.

IG8 perhaps?

IG8 0NP does match a street in Woodford and could make sense if the somebody gave somebody else (who doesn't really understand postcodes) verbally and that person thought they said H instead of 8, the street also has a number 72.

I can't really see what Royal Mail could do to help you with this, if it was sent like that it would have been done at a post office which is a different company. Royal Mail have just delivered it to whatever address was written on it, they have no knowledge of the contents or in the absence of a return address who the sender could possibly be.

My thoughts on what it could be are:
1: somebody was trying to find out if you lived at that address and now your signature proves you do
2: somebody is as you think going to pretend they have sent you something else, unless you have ordered something you've not received or have somebody who has something against you then it seems unlikely.
3: something else was in the envelope but somehow fell out, what sort of envelope was it? Any damage to it at all?
4: somebody just forgot to add the rest of the contents
5:somebody thought it would be funny to send something to make you answer the door or have to go to the sorting office.

You said 'registered' but as this no longer exists, did you actually mean Signed For (Recorded) or Special Delivery which is today's equivalent of 'registered?'
A Special D ordinary letter would have cost a minimum of £6.50 to send; Signed For, a minimum of £1.77.
The level of service used may indicate whether the enclosure was simply forgotten, or deliberately omitted.
I think the most likely answer is that the enclosure was left out by mistake.
I struggle to see why someone would spend £6.70 deliberately sending an empty envelope, when the much cheaper Signed For service would still elicit a signature.
Again, depending on which service was used, if they were trying to get a copy of the addressee's (ie your) signature, how did they know who would sign for the letter? Anyone could have signed.
