Royal Mail redirection moved house driving tickets help?

Hi,
couldn’t find an exact answer online so wondering if anybody could help!

I have set up Royal Mail redirection for 6 months and have recently moved house. Would things such as speeding/driving related fines/letters etc all be redirected to me ok?

( I don’t even think I’ve been caught at all) I’m just a worrier and had a panic after reading online some things don’t get redirected If they say ‘ do not redirect on’ the letters. But not sure if driving related letters/fines have this on.

i have changed my v5c now but wanted to know if anybody knew the answer to stop my worrying haha!

thank you

@Jessie1995 *

Oh dear!! Do you know anything about names though? If I have some post with my shortened first name will that matter?
for example on the form I put ‘miss Victoria smith’ but some of my mail is ‘miss Vicky smith’ will that still get to me ok?*

We have had name variances redirected and initials. To be honest it seems to depend on the post person and how on the ball they are.

Ideally you list every variance of spelling, but that gets expensive. I have Mrs f surname ms f surname miss f surname Fran, Frances, Francesca etc but the best thing is change everything quick. Realistically what post do you get? Everything is online now. I only get junk or occasional letters from HMRC.

Thanks for your reply. That’s what I worry about I only just ‘miss first name middle last name’ but some of my post I’ve realised is a shortened version of my first name. A very obvious shortened version of my first name and still the same miss middle and last name! I didn’t really think now I’m worried!
I don’t think I get a lot of post at all, but I am a worrier so worry I’ve missed something and I don’t know!
