The DVLA really are frigging useless. I bought my flat over a year ago yet I continue to receive car tax letters for the previous owners who moved away. I have 'returned to sender' two or three of these letters and when I phoned up today to ask why I was still getting them she said I would have to write a letter stating the name of the person who no longer lived at the property along with their car registration....
How the bloody hell am I supposed to know what there car reg is or was? And why should it be my responsibility anyway if someone else isn't bothering to tax their motor? Might just let it run and run and see how far the morons actually go for untaxed vehicles!

So the nice lady at the DVLA is suggesting you interfere with someone else's mail, I don't think that would go down too well.
If you've marked it gone away, RTS and the post office have returned it then they are perfectly entitled to open it themselves!
However, what exactly should they then do? They have a record with your address but do not have another with which to replace it.

So the eejit who moved out hasn't notified them of change of address, but somehow that's the fault of the DVLA? Where else should they try to send stuff?
Because the stuff has been RTS'd to them and they have been rung but they have no contingency plan other than suggesting the OP commit mail fraud.A more intelligent position would be to receive the returned mail, open it, stop sending reminders to the wrong address, and track the errant owner another way.
Still, it seems de rigeur on here to criticise the OP whatever they have written!

But it's not up to DVLA to take the word of a third-party that the RK no longer lives there - that's the sole duty of the RK surely. How can the DVLA be responsible for that?? What contingency can they have when they have a legal duty to deliver mail to his last known address?My neighbour has frequent deliveries of high-value items. I think I will phone his supplier and tell them that he no longer lives there and they should cease deliveries. Same thing - or am I missing the bloody obvious?
