Mail person doesn't live here

It can be frustrating when a mail carrier delivers mail to the wrong address or claims that someone doesn't live at a particular address.

Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

  1. Check the address: Double-check the address on the mail piece to ensure it's correct. Sometimes, a small mistake can lead to mail being delivered to the wrong address.
  2. Contact the post office: Reach out to your local post office or the USPS customer service number (1-800-275-8777) to report the issue. They can help investigate and resolve the problem.
  3. Provide proof of residency: If you're a homeowner, you can provide proof of residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement, to show that you do indeed live at the address.
  4. Talk to the mail carrier: If you're able to catch the mail carrier in the act, you can politely explain the situation and ask them to correct the issue. They may be able to update their records or redirect the mail to the correct address.
  5. File a complaint: If the issue persists, you can file a complaint with the USPS Office of the Inspector General (OIG) or your local postmaster. They'll investigate and take appropriate action to resolve the problem.

Remember to stay calm and professional when communicating with the mail carrier or post office staff. Good luck, and I hope the issue gets resolved quickly!
