Postie popped a "sorry we missed you" card through the letterbox today. A "signed for" letter apparently.

Not expecting anything.

Could be:-

1. P45 from the job I left in June - unlikely
2. Some speeding ticket thing - no way would those cheap asses pay for signed-for.
3. Premium bond mega win - [b]yup must be that.[/b]
4. HMRC investigation into my limited company doings - no way, that's all legit.

All bases covered ?

Can't imagine any of those being sent signed for - ordered anything from CRC etc recently? Postie's aren't always the most diligent when they fill those in.

I've only ever had 3 signed for letters, all legal stuff, none good, sorry ha ha.

Did you receive anything "important" today in a standard letter, that perhaps someone has duplicated with a signature required?

Hmrc can audit you any time they like. Doesn't have to be on suspicion of anything afaik.

I bet it's them.

Even the likes of planning applications from neighbours will have that sort of trail, I'm sure there are other admin. type letters that come the same way..

Have you done any training courses recently ?

I once was racking my brains with the same thoughts as you and had completely forgotten about the certificate.

A couple of years ago I got a "we have a parcel for you" note on my birthday. I didn't know what it was our who it was from, and had to wait nearly a whole week until I could go get it, anticipation building all the time.

When I finally got there it was a free washing powder scoop the wife had sent off for weeks ago. Gutted... 🙁

A mate was just about bouncing when he got a 'we have a parcel for you' note, expecting it to be the brand new shiny iPhone he'd got on his insurance after dropping his old, knackered one and it getting run over. Ran all the way to the sorting office the next morning, clutching the card feverishly, big grin all over his sappy mush.

Imagine his disappointment when it turned out to be a sample pack of Tena Men that some callous soul had ordered for him...

We had one of those a couple of years ago. Neither the wife or I had ordered anything.
Collected from the post office, opening it to find £17,500 worth of Troll Beads in. Was meant to go to a main dealer but somehow came to us. Never ordered from them so no idea where they got our address from 😕

Got in touch with them as it was obviously a mistake. They eventually collected them and gave the wife a starter bracelet and a few beads as a thanks for our honesty (worth about £200 😯 )
