Forwarding UK Post to France..

Hi, 
I'm having a lot of post delivered for my ex. Most post looks important like dvla and banks. Can I write his new address (in France) and put it back in the post box? I've already sent lots back saying not at this address, but they just keep coming.
I can't contact him as I'm in court next month giving evidence... 
Hope someone can help! Thanks

  •  Not without putting extra postage on. 

     Just cross out the address, write not at this address and stick it the post box

    You have to either return it to sender or put it in a big envelope and send it on in paying postage.

    I did the latter for my ex, although he paid the postage as otherwise I refused to send it!!
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    If you want to forward it then yes you have to do the above.

    Intrigued, as to why "I can't contact him as I'm in court next month giving evidence... " 
    Is a issue. 😉

    If the OP has an ongoing legal dispute of some sort with their ex, their lawyer may well have advised them to avoid any personal contact or communication.
