Away for 6 weeks

I’m away from home for 6 weeks and may well get a letter of claim within that period. Looking for advice on how to manage this so I don’t miss it and get a judgement without a chance to fight it. Can I inform the parking company and solicitors to send all mail between xxx dates to a separate address and get this opened and sent to me? Any other ideas? Cheers

    No.  What do you mean by a Letter of Claim? That's not a claim form.

    Show us the last letter you got and tell us about the case.

    If you have a trusted UK address with someone to open your mail (a family friend or relative) you could set up royal mail redirection for 'up to 3 months' and then cancel it on your return.

    If for any reason the redirection fails, and the post still ends up in your letterbox, you can at a later date demonstrate that you had taken reasonable steps to ensure your post was monitored and checked while you were away, if ever it got that far.
