[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd ask at the post office. The one that is your address's designated PO - don't go to just any PO. Ask to speak in person to a manager. Explain the situation. I suspect you will be told that the PO can't do a thing since they are required to deliver the mail to the address on it -- BUT you will at least know you did due diligence by checking and reporting the issue. A PP is correct that you can't fill in a change of address form for someone else, but you don't have a forwarding address anyway, right?

I am like you, OP, and would feel some concern about things like tax documents, school documents and medical bills, but after you have done all you can (which is much more than most people would), I think you can pitch it knowing that you are not obligated -- after eight years and thousands of pieces of mail -- to keep trying to get this stuff to them or at least back into the postal service's hands.

One thing that occurs to me: If you opened one of the ambulance bills or hospital bills, for instance, was the date of service recent? If so I'd wonder if the family was intentionally using their old address in order to avoid those bills. (And yes, I know it's a crime to open someone else's mail, as I'm sure one PP above will insist; however, I would have opened at least one of those bills "accidentally on purpose" to see if the charges were recent enough that they smelled like a deception was going on). I'd still pitch them, after calling the ambulance company or hospital ONE time only to inform them. After that, it's on the provider to get the right address. Unfortunately. Because unpaid bills turn into higher costs for everyone else. [/quote]

I talked to the post office about it. They made. A note and the mailman put a note in the door of the mailbox that said “only the Larlos” mail and it has pretty much Stopped. [/quote]
