How to report misdirected mail

If you continue to receive mail for a shareholder who no longer lives at your address, please let us know. We understand that repeatedly receiving mail for previous occupiers can be an inconvenience. To help us to stop these mailings, we may need your help in tracing the former occupant.

Additional information

​Once we have been informed that a shareholder no longer resides at an address, we are able to place a basic restriction on the mailings being sent. However, due to legal regulations we are unable to suppress all mailings and it is quite likely that you will still receive some mail from us.

Before all mailings can stop, the following needs to occur:

  • We will need to receive details of the new whereabouts of the former residents; from the current occupier or other contact;
  • We will need to trace and/or contact the shareholder(s) or their legal representative(s);
  • We will need to receive formal confirmation of the new address/circumstance of the former resident(s);
  • We will then need to register the updated details to the shareholding and the current occupier will no longer receive any mailings from us.

Fees

​This service is free of charge.
