Re: Somone has Cashed my An Post Savings Certificate, What options do I have? Any Adv
Hi Pudds,
No my mother didnt give me the certificate or even seem to know anything about a certificate, I imagine it was lost over the years. Im not even sure myself what has to be done to get the investment withdrawn or anything.
I do admit its unlikely my neighbour got the certificate. I do remember a letter coming to me asking if i wished to withdraw or have the amount reinvested but i chose not to withdraw at that time and didnt sign or return the letter. Thats basically the only dealings I had with this investment which was around 2007, and also when An Post say I cashed in the Investment.
As for the address, I live in a rural area, the only difference between my address and my neighbours is that mine has a house number and his does not, apart from that the addresses are exactly the same. Iv been told at the post office today however that if he ( My Neighbour ) had the details from the Investment in a letter from An Post ( perhaps delivered to him by mistake ) he wouldnt have required ID so his address would not have had to be supplied to anyone and so could have gone unnoticed.
I would have thought the house number would have caught someones eye but it has failed to a number of times leading to this neighbour receiving my Bank statments, various letters and bills and he even received my VAT3 return form which I only became aware of when I found out my VAT number had been used in Northern Ireland in a quarry to purchase building blocks and sand !!.. but I admit, I cant be sure he had anything to do with it but I would be suspisious of him as he would think nothing of doing such a thing. I also receive his mail but return it to him doesnt always happen when he recieves mine though !.. Just wondering what happens now with an post, is it tough luck to me or do I have any other option to retrieve the investment through An Post or anything?..
