Registered post- got me worried!

ninkynonk

i got a note from an post saying there was a registered letter for me that they'd tred to deliver. the thing is i hadn't of expected a registered letter and to tell the truth its got me worried- what the hell could it be?
i found out it came from a dublin 12 post office- or sorting office. i'm kinda worried its penalty points or a court summons- any one any ideas?

Queen-Mise

is it a modem or anything like that.

I got a speeding ticket a few years ago in a registered letter. Very ironic i think signing for a fine.

entropi

That there is the Gardai and their new "tactic" to get summonses et al into your hands if they cannot personally hand them over. Tried it on a few people i know, only one fell for it and ended up in court:pac:

i've been told they dont make you sign for fines any more- but that could be Horsesh1t. i'm not expecting anything what so ever! I hate waiting till tuesday to collect it.:mad::mad:

Registered post can mean anything really, subpoenas and summons usually come by registered letter and failing that they will serve them on you personally. It could also be a Birthday card with a draft enclosed or something else erroneous. However most people who spend the €5.17 to post a registered letter do so for good reason so it is probably important. If you are on the Dole it could be something from those fellars and most likely it is bad.

It's a letter form your ex, you have a kid. Unlucky.

jim_bob

don't sign for it nothing good can come from it

ninkynonk

but if i dont sign for it- it will eventually come and bite me in the arse- what about prizebonds? do they have to be signed for? i'm pissed off having to wait till tuesday- who ever it is a right bastard- ha ha:pac::pac:

Juwwi

Hibernian insurance send some letters by registored post ..
I got one from them a while ago and missed a half a days work collecting the letter.

Do you owe money or have a kid you're not paying maintenance for?

Civil summons and maintenance summonses sent by registered post :P

It's a notification to cancel your boards membership.

Do they send that by reg:D post?

if you don't want to lose a lot of time collecting the letter, ring that sorting office early on Tuesday morning (7-8am) and ask them what time would your delivery is likely to get to you so you might be able to hang on for them.

spurious

Dublin City Council often send planning permission related things by registered post, if that's a possibility?

Idiot, all i can say is (registered post???!!!) OMG im sooooo worried cause i have got a notice saying i was expecting a registered letter haha you idiot sorry for the rant but come on it could be anything... so what if it is some penalty points, will teach you not to speed or talk on the phone while driving, which you have obviously done something wrong while driving if you are expecting some penalty points in the mail Or else you have been in trouble with the guards so either way :P

seanybiker

Could be anything really. Wouldnt worry about it. Got registered post a few weeks ago and I cant even remember what it was. So stupid I cant remember it lol. Wrecking me head trying think what it was now.

great to know someone out there as perfect as you! you weetod:cool:

Sharpshooter

I am not well up on this so I hope the OP won't mind me asking a question.
What if the OP doesn't collect, will it be sent again?
Or does it depend on the importance of the Registered Letter and who it is from?

My Oh had notification of a "registered letter" a long time ago. He didn't collect it - assumed it may have been a speeding summons.

Fast forward 1.5 years and we went skiing to the same resort and hotel as 2 winters before. We checked in and were presented with a returned parcel they received having from An Post. Turns out it was his lost jacket (FLASHBACK...drunken last light in club, leaving and no jacket to be found..)

"Registered Letters" aren't always bad news.

Oh ... and Price Bond prizes are sent by ordinary post

What good would that do?:rolleyes:

kdak

could be any company that you owe money to. insurance company or something... they generally use registered post so they have proof that they informed you of the debt. i know axa are great for doing it!
or its someone who owes you money! and they dont wanna send it through normal post!
or something with your pps no. on it. social welfare or something.
although they didnt use registered post with me, and i would've preferred them to though cause my card got lost in the post! :rolleyes:
if you think it may cause trouble though, just ring them and ask them to post it out to on so and so a day and then get someone else to sign for it, that way it cant be used as proof that you got it cause you personally didnt sign for it!

sam34

i got one once and it turned out to be €100 worth of vouchers i had cashed in on pigsback.com, apparently they send out anything over €80 by registered post.

And oh my god, just noticed what your name was... Ninky Nonk rules.

Mrmoe

It could be some mail order viagra or sex toys that you forget. They come by registered post so I've been told.

This reminds of the 'do you answer withheld numbers' thread?

I've never heard of people being actually scared of getting registered mail. Jaysus.

Littering fine probably.

I got one for discarding a top-up receipt about 2 years ago. They traced the number.
