Fredricksons office W1G 9DQ says Bristol Golf Club Ltd?

[Happyfeet24]

Hi,

 

I've just sent a letter to Fredricksons saying that they're in default of my CCA request.

 

I've just got home after going to the post office and checked my RD slip. It says at the bottom that the building name that it's been sent to is 'Bristol Golf Club Ltd' The post code is correct for their registered office on Chandos Street but what's with the Golf club in Bristol?

 

I've checked previous RD slips for Fredricksons and they have the same postcode but the building name is just 'Flat'

 

I'm sure the letter will get their because it's addressed to their office but if I need to prove to a court that I sent it and the slip says 'Bristol Golf Club Ltd' am I stuck?

 

It was sent from the same post office as the slips that say 'Flat' , does anyone know what's gone wrong or where I stand now?

Thanks cerberusalert,

 

would the slip I've got be proof of delivery to Fredrickson in court?

I don't think you have a problem - when the PO do a search on the postcode now, it often comes up with a totally different name. I know because it happenned to me twice, to totally different companies.

 

When I queried this, the PO staff told me that the owner of the building (or whoever has the lions share of multi-occupancy buildings) comes up as the addressee.

 

Both my letters were safely received by the correct offices - I know that for a fact because one was asking for a refund which I received the following day () and the other was acknowledged a few days later.

 

Hope that helps.

God I am so slow at typing - cerberusalert, you weren't even showing as viewing here when I started.

 

sorry - but glad you got a (better) reply!

No problem, you've sent it to the address they gave you on their missives no doubt.

[Happyfeet24]

Thanks everyone,

 

that's ok then, I just panicked when I saw a completely different name on the slip and I didn't want to be caught out if it's needed as evidence.

 

It does look weird though, but I'll relax a bit more now. It's just that Fredrickson have never replied to my letters and I didn't know if this had something to do with it.

 

I'll keep sending it to the address though, after all, it is their registered office address so they should be getting them

 

[cerberusalert]

Just keep it with one of their threatograms containing the address;)

Don't panic, it's not unusual for several different companies to share an office address. As long as you can prove you sent the letter to the right address and postcode you have done your bit.

 

Funny how Bristol comes it to it though, - that would be a BS postcode, wouldn't it??

Hi Dannyboy,

 

It's confused me, but I can only guess that the Bristol Golf Club is a national company with branches in different places:confused: I could be wrong though,

 

Knowing my luck, next time I send a letter to them the RD slip will say 'KFC' or something:mad:

 

Stupid fredricksons. Why can't they just get their own office

[cerberusalert]

A lot of companies 'rent' postal addresses (they think it gives them prestige), sometimes their mail is forwarded or picked up by courier service. Also it makes it difficult if anyone wants to deliver doughnuts or hand deliver documents.

[Happyfeet24]

I'd like to hand deliver a document to them:mad:

 

they're not having my doughnuts though!
