Just a word of warning in case the important looking letter is from a Court or bailiffs.


We have a (very tedious) ongoing battle with a firm of bailiffs who are trying to collect a significant Court fine from someone who gave a fake address (ours) to the Police or Court.


They know he doesn't live at our house and they have no right to enter our home, but that doesn't stop them from turning up and threatening to do so on a regular basis.


So, I would definitely return the letter (unopened, if there's a return address) to sender with a clear letter from you saying you've not heard of this person and he doesn't live at your house, and keep a copy of it.

I would second that. We had a problem some years ago when a woman decided to use our address every time she got caught not paying her train fare. We had endless letters. There was no return address so after a couple of 'please return to senders' I finally opened one to find out what they were - purely for the purpose of getting it sent to the right person - just in time, as we would have had a visit from the bailiffs shortly afterwards. I rang up the train company to explain and we never got another one.

    • Oh give it a break.  We have an MP who makes racist comments, yet our media (and what seems like this Forum) that generally hate Labour (and loved Johnson) are just out looking for the dirt. It's a move on, nothing to see here.  Particularly if she used a letting agency.

    • I don't think a single specific URL is easily doable.  When you enter a search the system presents the result without any of one's search parameters added to the URL.  So I suggest you go to https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=advanced where you just need to enter the address -- use SE22 8EW -- and the  Date Received start date.  I used 1/1/2025.  The three Tesco applications, all minor things, were all made in May.  The Simple search that I'd done previously had no time limit, and didn't include anything else that might have been from Tesco in the last two years. Incidentally, when I searched on the address 29-35 Lordship Lane it did not pick up the Tesco applications, which were held as 29 - 35 Lordship Lane Grrr!
