NIP addressed to someone else
Discussion
Hello all,
Over the weekend we received a letter (which looked like a NIP) addressed to someone I don't know. I simply marked it 'return to sender, not at this address' and posted it back. Is there anything else that I could/should do ? I wonder if someone has registered their car at my address but I've never received anything from the DVLA to indicate this (i.e. no log book or road fund licence reminder letters etc). If I receive any subsequent letters, am I within my rights to open the letter if I believe some fraudulent activity is occuring ?
Cheers.

..seeing as you say you posted it back marked "Return to Sender not at this address" you're gonna have a hard job doing anything but speculate on what you could have done.Over the weekend we received a letter (which looked like a NIP) addressed to someone I don't know.

Of course if you have not posted it back yet open it have a butchers and if it is really nothing to do with you reseal and post it back.

As far as subsequent letters go...same pack drill...open/peruse/reseal and send back if nowt to do with you. You may want to include a short statement of facts type letter denying all knowledge of either the offence/vehicle or of the person the letter is addressed to....

I always open all mail addressed to the house, the previous owners left behind rather large bills that the numerous banks decided to use bailiffs to get back, took a while to convince them that I was not the bastid that they wanted, if had returned the letters marked "not known" I suspect they would return....
gave them the details of the solicitors and suggested that they contact them with my blessing to ask for the details of the house sale...
