ruffers Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Probably the post man had already opened it to see if it had cash inside. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11401-mr-stephen-matthews-mrs-marilyn-matthews/#findComment-325663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I thought the Post Office was the only ones allowed to do that? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11401-mr-stephen-matthews-mrs-marilyn-matthews/#findComment-325682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpsaucey Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Poor OP! All they're trying to do get the mail back to them. I know it's not strickly 'legal' but she's trying to do them a favour.

EDmummy Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I am also 'guilty' of opening mail not addressed to me. In my case, the letter was offering a student a place on a course. I visited all my neighbours in the nearest vicinity and asked them if they were the person it was addressed to with no luck. I then sent the letter back to the university letting them know that the address was wrong. I hope I didn't do the wrong thing but I felt that ignoring it would have been worse.

Sue Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Somebody opened a card and letter I had sent (not addressed to them), and phoned me to tell me a friend had died.The person who opened the card was the new owner of my friend's house.Although obviously I was sad to get the news, I was grateful to the person for opening the card and then taking the trouble to phone me.

ianr Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 >I know it's not strickly 'legal' but she's trying to do them a favour.Postal Services Act 2000, section 84(3) - "A person commits an offence if, intending to act to a person?s detriment and without reasonable excuse, he opens a postal packet which he knows or reasonably suspects has been incorrectly delivered to him."Whereas the people here who've opened mail sent to an unknown person at their address seem to have had no intention to act to the addressee's detriment, and to have had a very reasonable excuse.
