Got a NIP, previous homeowners, what to do?
Discussion
Just got a NIP today in the name of the previous homeowners son. Think he may be a bit of a scrote as since I moved in I've had the police round on more than one occasion asking for him.
This guy seems to have managed to register an '05 car to a previous address he lived at 14 years ago! This isn't a dodgy area, neighbours have no forwarding address for said scrote, but I'm well pi$$ed off at the state the house was sold to me in as the surveyor failed to pick up on loads of sh!t they left behind, consequently costing me bloody thousands over the years to put right.
I'm now not sure what to do about this as:-
1. I want to get this c
t in as much trouble as possible
2. I'd love to know how he managed to register a new car to an old (14 f@cking years FFS) address
Opinions welcome.

Ignore the letter in someone elses name, its not yours so dont worry about it.
If your surveyor messed up you can sue him. He is paid to have a duty of care and has to have professional qualifications. He will also have insurance to protect him against a claim. Seriously, if you are out of pocket and you can prove that the surveyor missed it when he shouldnt have, you should have a case. Much more constructive and financially rewarding than effing about with a scrotes mail.

I would just return it with a note saying not known at this address... Wouldn't want to be doing the scameraships work for them, would you.
I wouldn't even do that. Just bin it and let them get on with it.

Not with someone else's mail...
Why not, I open all mail that comes here. I don't look to see who it's addressed to and if it's rubbish or not for me I bin it. For all I know it could be more junk mail. I suppose I could chuck it in a post box but doubt the royal mail would put a stamp on it and attempt to deliver it. If you move address it's your responsibility to tell friends and family, not mine to look after your mail.

Just had another look at this and the date of the offence is 16/05/2006, the date of the NIP is 19/06/2006.
I thought they had to be issued within 14 days, isn't this now past it's sell by date???

Suggests it was a hire car that he booked out at your address. i.e it's not the first NIP in the chain.

If you leave it won't it go to court but default. He'll get fined in abscence not pay and the court will send the bailiff's round to who?
And your address will have a CCJ recorded against it. I'd return it to the scamera lot with a letter of explanation (possibly even recorded delivery). You really don't need grief like that.smeggy said:

Could one get done for 'failing to supply' under the S172? (imagine the fun you could have with that one)
BliarOut said:
Nope, as you haven't been asked to supply as the NIP isn't for your attention and to open someone elses mail is bordering on unlawful. If you return it unopened with not known at this address written across the front it should die a death unless they can actually be arsed to investigate.
Apologies, I wasn't clear enough. I meant to ask what charges could one face if they simply binned an incorrectly addressed NIP?
