Hi,
A question if I may concerning returned mail with, 'addresse gone away', on the envelope.
I have received today a letter sent by a court to the defendants in a claim I have submitted against them. The letter has been returned to the court (who have then sent it to me with a covering letter).
The original court claim letter envelope has a Royal Mail sticker on it with, 'adressee gone away', ticked. The letter is not, 'signed for', or similar. The return address to the court is a PO Box number and no idication is it from a court. The address is correct on the court claim envelope.
How does the postman know they've, 'gone away'? Is this something the occupants would have informed Royal Mail upon them leaving the property? I'm wondering why it wasn't either redirected or simply put through the letterbox for the new occupants to find.
Any assistance with the procedures involving, 'addressee gone away', to help me understand how and why this has happened would be very helpful.
Thanks.

Re: Adressee gone away
most probably the new occupant to the address has given any mail from previous people who lived there back to the postie or wrote "gone away" on the envelope themselves and popped it back in a postbox which in either case will then get a kill off sticker and returned to sender (if also on the letter)bluesolar wrote: ↑25 May 2022, 22:15

this happens daily many many times, we can't redirect mail unless a redirection has been paid for even if we knew where they had moved to
