URGENT - Court Letters to Wrong Address

[Miss_Kassy]

URGENT ADVICE REQUIRED REGARDING COURTS SENDING LETTERS TO WRONG ADDRESS!!!!

 

Sorry this may be a bit of a long read but really need advice…

 

Background of the story – In November 2010 my boyfriend was not paying his TV licence as TV ariel broke and TV would not work (he was never in to watch it so didn’t bother getting it fixed). A guy from TV licence came knocking, my boyfriend explained the situation, the guy checked the channels and seen they were all fuzzy, etc, done a statement which my boyfriend signed then he left.

 

In March 2011 he moved address – by this time heard nothing back from TV licence people.

 

When he called to get new TV licence for new property it was mentioned about the problem at the old address and was advised if he paid for a new TV licence in FULL that day the issue would be ‘forgotten about’. So my boyfriend forked out for TV licence in full for new property.

 

In about August 2011 a letter was sent to his OLD address from TV licence to say were taking him to court (TV licence fine). (It was just chance letter was re-posted to us as the person living in his new address knew us). We wrote to them with new address and he did attend court – although this court case was more about him not responding sooner and about the fact they had the wrong address or something like that.

 

Anyway we heard absolutely nothing more about it until May this year – A summons on a tatty piece of paper was sent again to his OLD address!!!! Again, was only passed to us as we knew who was living in the house. We responded with all evidence against TV licence people and made a big fuss about not having the correct address AGAIN!

 

Then another letter from the court was delivered to his OLD ADDRESS AGAIN about a month ago. By this time we were sick to the back teeth of it going to the wrong address. Yes it was passed (only as we know the person who lives there) to us but how are they to know it would be. So as they got this wrong so much we sent it back “return to sender not at this address”.

 

Then this morning another letter was sent to his OLD address. This one looks quite official and red and from the courts. THEY HAVE SEVERAL PICES OF CORROSPONDANCE ON FILE (or they should have as we write to them twice with loads of evidence and complaints about wrong address and stress caused) WITH CORRECT ADDRESS ON!

 

The question is now, do we strike through again and return to sender. At the end of the day, if we didn’t know the person in his old house we would never have got any of these letters!!!!!!!

 

Does anyone know what will happen or can anyone advise what will be best to do? How many times can they be told his new address for goodness sake! They are supposed to be professionals and cant seem to get anything right!

 

Advice would be much appreciated ASAP.

 

Sorry for long post but wanted to explain situation in full for best advice.

 

Thank you

It is extremely unhepful to us - and to yourself to make multiple postings of the same issue.

its the court that issued the warrant you need to get in touch with and file a statutory declaration
