I've sent some important documents to the wrong address,:huh:
well it was the right street, just the wrong number,
is it possible to find out who lives there so I could ring them and see if they would send them back.

If they don't live too far away, could you not just go round and see them?

Meh, stupid cretinous posties! :loopy: :rant:

They just look for a street name and chuck letters through anyone's mailbox..

Honestly the amount of wrongly posted mail that gets delivered to ours is ridiculous... One time we got some envelope that looked really important as though it had legal documents in it or something, luckily the address was only 5 minutes round the corner on Anvil Close so I dropped it off on my way to catch a bus to Town from the Marchwood estate.

The woman I handed it to was very grateful as it was something her husband had been waiting for.

Send a letter of explanation to the incorrect address and enclose a correctly addressed and stamped envelope for them to forward it on. Alternatively phone the intended recipient and ask them to collect it.

Rich, the letter was incorrectly addressed so for once the postie got it right by the looks of it.

Nobody has said anything about any error by the postal service!

My interpretation is that Mary Poppins has mis-addressed a letter.

Sorry not blaming the postie,totally my fault.
tried asking the people it was for to collect it but they dont seem to want to do that,
mind it does contain, something that needs paying,
so they're probably glad they didn'y get it.and its been nearly two weeks now
more than likely the people have thrown it ,just hoping they might have sent
it back "not at this address" my address was inside.

Why let the truth get in the way of a good rant?

there was a credit card (Visa)

i looked at the name on the envelope and it was for the person who lived here before us 4yrs ago

i took it in to the Halifax
