You dont have to collect it.

It will be returned to sender.

What you don’t know can’t hurt you.

Thank you; I never accept registered post as it almost never shows a return address so no idea where it is from until too late.

Postman does not like it but tough!

What a wuss.

I can't believe boards is reduced to this drivel.

Grow a pair op. It's a bloody letter not the end of the world.

A lot of stuff from Wish and Ali Express comes as registered post now.
Also Amazon and eBay comes as express post.

It's probably some crap that you ordered from China 4 months ago and forgot about.

If the last two.letters on the barcode or number inserted are not IE, it's not posted within Ireland,if it is then I'd pack a bag and get the first ferry,wear a hat and sunglasses,drop passport in the 2nd bin you find once you get off the boat (they only check first bin) ,pay 500 quid for a new identity,lay low for 6 months,come back here and fill us in on what happened.

There was a similar case four years ago. Sadly we never found out what was in that letter.

That's because when you read the letter you die!!!
Obviously there can be no other explanation.

I refused one years ago now and all they did was resent ordinary post including the refused letter..IT was nothing urgent or important Just red tape

... unless you send a copy of the letter by registered post to ten people you know then you will have good luck, win a large sum of money, meet the person of your dreams and live happily ever after, but you must post those ten letters in the next three days....

Put the tracking number into the An Post tracking site and see what it says ..it will give you an idea where it was sent from ..

If it says Dublin 12 sorting office then your fcuked !!.. Just pack up and leave the country !

Why? What's dodgy about letters coming the D7 sorting office?

For the love of god OP, what the hell was in the letter? I need to eat soon....

Could be anything. Gardaí can use registered post to deliver a summons or make a demand about who was driving a vehicle at a particular time.

Well, he really got us all going.. June 1st not April 1st mate :rolleyes:

Court date for TV license or at least it was for me.

An Post Employee in the sorting office knew exactly what the registered letter was for before he handed over the letter but made sure that I provided details to prove I had received it.
Fast forward few weeks and I'm in Court with License Inspector lying to Court telling the Judge that the occupant of the house had opened door to them and admitted there was a TV but no license at that address.
If you don't collect the registered letter, you don't go to court.

Take Note OP.

Just because you don't have a TV, doesn't mean they wont try and get you for no TV licence. My mothers uncle was 94 and taken to court because he didn't have a TV licence.... because he didn't have a TV - had to go to court to explain this.

AFAIK, they don’t send reg letters to anyone now for jury service. I did jury service back in March. Letter not registered

Na, they can just send a summons by "substituted service" - normal post.

Is your actual name on the An Post docket OP?

But at that age he was entitled to a free licence anyway, surely?

They tried that on with me when someone thought the digiweb dish was a TV dish... I emailed them and told them I get a free licence; they checked and found they had the address slightly wrong.. egg on their faces..I had no TV either..

I find this very concerning as the exact same happened to me.

TV license Inspector lied and submitted a report saying that I opened the door and said there was a tv but no licence. I did not get a registered letter or summons just an ordinary post letter.

When I phoned up about weeks later when I got the letter it and said I wasn’t there, they said the person opened the door and said they were me. Conveniently, it was also a Saturday, as people could prove they were in work during the week.

I live alone and the alarm log would prove that the alarm was set during that time. I also sent them my boarding card for my flight to Australia, proving I was not even in the country at the time.

They backed off after that and I’m sorry I did not take it further.

Yes me too. I was sure, this being a very remote place and a dispute going on locally thst a certain man had called them to give false info. When i challenged about that they were alarmed and spoke about confidentiality so i parried that with freedom of information legislation and they backed down fast.

Nodded off for a while.... any breakthrough?

No, and won't be. That's the trouble every time this scenario is used. 24 hours on the yarn has nowhere to go.

You are never going to find out. There are at least a dozen of these thread on AH going back for many years. The common theme is that nobody ever finds out what is in the letters. I am beginning to suspect that they never existed.

Fighting Tao

Could this be the same poster that had someone in the attic?

It's from the Boards.ie admins- they know where you live now and instead of perma-banning you for the 40th time for re-registering, they're now taking legal action.:eek:

He can’t. He’s either currently in prison or dead. The WiFi isn’t great in either tbh

Did you miss a direct debit on the car insurance? They usually send a reminder by registered post.

Edit - If your car is registered in Waterford but the insurance is in Dublin it may throw up a red flag.

Bet you it is from whoever you have car insurance with.

UPDATE!!!

You were right. It was from my insurance.

Sorry to keep you all waiting.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the responses though. Thanks for the real suggestions that calmed me down and the joke suggestions!

To anyone who thinks I was overreacting asking the question on here, I fully realise that I was. Also the title was a bit of a joke, I only slightly thought I would be arrested.

Tsk tsk. You could have come up with a better story than that to entertain us. What a let down. Can the OP be banned for this type of behaviour?

I'll never get this time back.

HURRAY! Our street party can go ahead! Excerpts from this thread will be read aloud and merriment and dancing will ensue.

Thanks so much for giving us closure....

Bad move OP ... now they know you're still alive and where you might be found... *dramatic music*

Just realised I have shot myself in the foot here re registered post. We get very few erratic deliveries on the island and no POst Office so I signed delivery rights to the man who delivers the post and a neighbpur as I did not want to have to go to the mainland to collect.. ah well!
