    I did it on-line last week, no need for documents and really simple as long as the card used is linked to one of the addresses.

    We are thinking of setting this up at our local post office. It seems they still want original documents. We have no idea how to get around this as we do not have paper statements for anything.

    Instructions state:

    Two different utility bills from the last 6 months (please do not bring mobile phone or a store/charge card statement. Bills printed from the Internet are not valid)

    So how do you propose they verify your identity and address then?
    As stated,do it online and most people wont need to supply further evidence

    Same. Did it online back in Feb/March, used debit card to pay annual fee. Card was linked to redirecting from address.

    I noticed on credit file that Royal Mail had done a soft search.

    Must admit, I would've moved to a better redirection provider, IF there were any on offer.

    Why are you quoting me on that?
    Without actual data it means nothing.
    That will likely be logged complaints,not split down by resolution.

    Does anyone know what I can do with my limited company registered to home address when we move? The business mail redirection is dam expensive but we just want to encompass anything with the company name and not ours on it. I sense business redirection is for large companies.
