Mark it, "Return to Sender - Receipient Unknown" and put it back in the post.

Not you, don't worry about it.




g-day!

There are two possible responses to this question the first and most likely is to return the letter as "not known at this address". The second is that have been unwittingly involved in some sort of scam. If the first response has no effect then check with a credit rating agency to find out if someone has illegally used your address.

for gods sake do not open the letter as this would be a criminal offence.
simply write across the envelope 'not known at this address' and 'return to sender'. Then simply pop it back into the post.
If anyone does come calling for the named person tell them, politely, to check there records and leave you alone or you will sue them for harassment.
If the demands not in your name then the debts not in your name.

Sometimes we get snail mail addressed to us, but alleging some relationship that we believe to be false. This could be a scam, or both us and the sender could be victims of some kind of identity theft financial fraud.

When the mail is addressed to me from some place I do not have an account with, and claims something about a debt or legal trouble, I call the place & try to get this straightened out. I tell them that I will report them to the police for fraud it they do not produce proof that I owe them anything.

Sometimes when I call such places, they want my social security #, or other personal security identification to help them check their records. I tell them that I refuse to give out such info, because I do not know if it is them that are the crooks, or if it is someone using my name that is the crook. You contacted me. Here is the stuff on your addressing.

Another thing we can do, is go to the post office and say that these bills from some place we have never done business with, constitute harrassment, and we can sign a paper with the post office asking the post office to block any future snail mail to us from that place. The post office then sends them a legal document saying that if they persist in sending mail to this address, the post office will prosecute them for violation of various laws they spell otu.

Now they are banned from sending us any further mail, unless they are able to go before a judge to prove that we are in fact the person who owes them anything.

Any time you receive mail that is not addressed to you, you have an obligation to return it.

You could ask your mail man or post office for the procedure they prefer. Also ask the post office for guidance on this.

While it is illegal in some nations to open someone else's mail, that might not apply to mail delivered to your address in error ... you need to get clarification from the post office regarding the law in your area.

I just mark the envelope "addressee person not at this address" and return to the postal service.

Sometimes mail for a neighbor ends up in my mail box, or mine in theirs. We try to deliver to the right place, as a neighbor courtesy.

When we move to a new address, we are supposed to fill out a change of address form & supply to the postal service so that our old address mail can get forwarded to us. A lot of people fail to do this out of ignorance, so their old mail they never get. Some people failr to do this deliberately, because they are trying to skip out on debts. This means that the new residents of their old address can be victimized by people trying to collect debts.

Just make sure the post office knows when you moved into some place, and that you are no relation to the old tenants, and that all main addressed to those old tenants need to be returned, marked appropriately so as to lower risk to you for being harrassed due to problems associated with those former tenants.

contact whoever sent it and tell them you are not that person. Give them a forwarding address if you can. Ive had them when i moved house and sat for days waiting for the bailiffs to call looking for the previous owner, they did believe me in the end. I was worried they would take my furniture!!

Well don't open it that is against federal law. Just write not at this address and put it back in the mail box.

This is not harassment. Once you step outside of your apartment, you are on private property and the HOA has the right to tell you where you can and can not smoke. Apparently, they decided that you should smoke on your patio where the smoke and the butts won't bother others.

You must open the letter and inform the company concerned that the addressee is not known to you. You have to do this to prevent yourself becoming blacklisted.

Just write on the envelope "not at this address" and put it back in the mailbox to be returned to sender.
