Problem solved.

[Alan Medic]

Hi, if you read this or know this person would you contact me via PM. I've had two letters misdelivered to me without a return address (without opening them obviously). They seem to be from the same source and I can see one relates to an appointment (window envelope)for you. Hope to be able to find a home for these soon.

Alan, don't be so coy, just open the letter up and tell the source they have the wrong address!!

[singalto]

I would open it and contact the seller. I once received airline tickets for someone who does not live at my address so ran the travel agent to let them know.

[curlylocks]

I did this once, with letters that repeatedly arrived from what turned out to be a debt collection agency. They weren't particularly thankful and made it very clear that opening someone else's letters is illegal. I've never looked into it or discovered what the fine or punishment would be, but you can also just write "return to sender" on the front, pop it in the postbox and let Royal Mail do the rest.

That's what I'd do, illegal or not.

I'd be extremely grateful to have somebody open a letter to me which had been wrongly addressed and gone elsewhere if it had some time-critical health or financial implication, and it's very easy for somebody copying stuff into a computer in an office to get a house number wrong. Or even the whole address .....

If it looks like an appointment, sounds like it could be time-critical, even if not urgent.

Surely if the source has the wrong address, returning it back to them, or opening the letter serves no purpose as they don't have the correct address.

I think AM has done the most sensible thing by posting on here.

Hopefully somebody will recognise the name & it will reach it's rightful owner more quickly.

Alan,

Are you on Linked In? Because I think she is...

Well they may well have the correct address, just some low-paid minion has copied the address wrongly when sending the letter ......

Yes and I did check it but I don't seem to be able to send her a message.I think she has 1 connection so possibly not a big user. From what I can read the appointment is personal and perhaps not something I should publicly state.

[Sue]

It's an unusual name.

Googling it brings up (apart from the Linked In link) an Elisa Onuoha living in SE6, with a link to her full address.

OK it may be a completely different person, but she could either have moved from that address or moved to that address, so worth investigating?

It's on 192.com and from quite old electoral records, but if you still don't want to open the letter/s and you still want to contact her, it's probably your only hope (unless the council might help?)

Mystery solved. I texted my neighbour and she a relation of hers.

[Loz]

You mean Mrs Onuoha from next door? Bit of a shot in the dark, wasn't it?

[Alan Medic]

Ha. She just phoned me. Found her via a website another user had noticed too. Sent her my number and lo and behold it's my neighbour's daughter in law. The funniest thing is that the letters reveal information that she doesn't want the MIL to know.

Curious why this was moved into the lounge. Surely it was an ED matter albeit a minor one? So Mr/Ms Moderator, how come? I don't see the lounge as the place for boring threads like this but obviously I'm wrong.
