Right. If the mover hasn't registered a forwarding address, then you'll likely get your mail sent back, unless the occupant has a forwarding address. I'd expect that a bank might deliberately ask that their mail is bounced - presumably you'd been notified of the move. However, the RM usually put effort into resolving ambiguous addresses. Usually they'll put more effort into personal mail than business mail, though. > I don't know whether I'm more annoyed with HSBC for not getting their > post redirected, or the Post Office for not having the gumption to > just send the envelope on to the local branch's new address. > > </off_topic><sorry /> > > > Tim > > > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list [email protected] > Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: > https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public -- Ian Eiloart _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
