Are you one of the pensioners who moved sometime during the past five years and who, as a result, had problems with your Freedom Pass because the letter that they sent to you went to your previous address?

The many polls that have been done on the subject show moving house to be the third most stressful situation that anyone can experience. One of the really big issues is remembering to inform the many people and agencies that write to you of your new address.

One way of ensuring your mail reaches your new home is by letting Royal Mail deal with it for you with their Redirection service. Prices  start from £29.99 per  surname (family name) involved if your new address is in the UK and £99.99 if it is abroad. If your plan is a holiday, they also offer a Keepsake service where they will hold your mail until a date that you specify.  They can organise this with just one day’s notice, while they ask for two weeks’ notice to arrange a Redirection when you move. Don’t worry if you forget to arrange a Redirection before you move though, as it can be arranged after with proof of your old address.

You can make the arrangements by telephone on 03457 777 888 or post, but the quickest way to do it is online.
