Just to let you all know, the direct number to the delivery office in East Dulwich is 02082999471. I'm still waiting for a parcel after two weeks and have rang them and they have it!!!! so it's definitely worth ringing!! I think the guy who you will get through to is called James.

The people who work on the front counter at the ED delivery office are very helpful. I imagine they're quite embarrassed when people have problems caused by other staff.

thieving bastards and it'll only get worse during the Christmas period!

This is quite interesting because it should be traceable quite easily. If you have the bank code, account number and name it was cashed in, report it to the police pdq if you have not already. Make a fuss. I also have had cheques fraudulently cashed. It is an issue for the bank that permitted it to be cashed. Don't be fobbed off. I have traced my rippers off and handed the lot to the police. In the end it was looks to be a member of staff who intercepted the cheque and took it to a "friendly bank" in order to cash it. I am waiting on a prosecution.

The point is, if it happened to you, it will happen to someone else - cheque interception and cashing requires many people to carry it out. It is not a solo activity if it is undertaken at a bank.

Also, if it did happen at Silvester, that should be reason enough to get the police involved as this is a case of fraud as well as stealing. HMRC do not send out cheques that can be paid to cash, nor should bank staff pay out to anyone except the account payee. The nasty thing because they did manage to do this is it suggests is that someone is intercepting your financial information via the postal system. I would really check to see if you have any other issues and curious direct debits from your account - and then get all of this financial information (as far as possible) sent to you via email or electronic secure message.

This is not the same as someone nicking a package, cross making as that is. One is possibly opportunistic. Cheque fraud is planned and targetted.

I would very much second this. About 2 years ago, someone intercepted a set of replacement credit cards which were due to be sent to me. I had arranged to collect them at a bank branch, but they were sent out to an address that had no connection to me. The bank maintained I had phoned them to organise this, but their complaints department ultimately admitted that staff members appeared to have been involved.

Anyway, I cancelled the cards before they could be used and thought no more of it - however, over 2 years later, someone is still using that card and the covering letter which had my address and bank details on it, as proof of id for "me" to try and open up mail order and shop accounts. About once every six months I have to phone up Littlewoods or Next or a debt collection agency and explain they've been defrauded, then get my credit report fixed. A CIFAS registration has made absolutely no difference unfortunately.

The frustrating thing is they won't even tell me the address these goods are all being delivered to citing "data protection". The last time I pointed out the data is nominally "my" personal data and I'm technically therefore entitled to it. The reply was "we cannot give it to you in case you take inappropriate action which might infringe the human rights of the person who is using your name"....sigh....

After having frequent problems with 'missing' post I now have a different issue with East Dulwich postal service. I always recieve letters any letter sent from Southwark Council, but this week they rang to say they had tried to send a important letter 3 times, each time its been returned with a note to say 'unavailable at this address' and I really dont know why?!! I asked the lady on the phone to check the address, and all was fine, so I dont understand why its not being delivered, and the council wont let me know what the letter contents are over the phone. Its been sent out again, hopefully it turns up this time. We regularly see our new postman on the way out, and if we are leaving and he see's he stops to give us any post, and any signed for items. So I'm definitely not missing anything, its also just standard 1st class, not recorded or sign for item.

Hi I received penalty charge notices/fines six weeks after they were issued meaning a huge fine which I am now struggling to challenge without proof of Royal Mail delays.

I successfully challenged an increased fine recently on the basis that the missing mail notification was due to localised delays and I used this thread as the main evidence. It?s dated, shows multiple long-standing users posting, and provides an insight to the frustrations felt by many in the community.

My mother received a letter from the bank on Friday posted a month ago.

I think you are referring to a different thread, KK.

This one has been resurrected from 2011 😶
