  Is the postage dated? Like when the letter was actually processed by the mail service?

  The letter is dated from March, but the printed stamp on the envelope is from a few days ago. LOL

  Also does the text say ‘within 10 days of receipt’? No, word for word:

  “You are required to inform us within 10 days, at the above address if you change your address or Bank Account Number.” etc…

    Ah, well if the scenario ever occurs that you DID need to make a change you can likely use the postage date but its good that you dont have to deal with that this time!

  ‘within 10 days of receipt’?

  IDK about other countries, but they NEVER do that here.

    Here in Belgium, if it’s by physical mail, the delay is legally defined.

    e.g. Resigning by signed letter is assumed to arrive 3 business days after you send it off. Regular mail requires 3 attempts (e.g. bill + 2 reminders) before it’s reasonable assumption it arrived at all.

    But then again, if you wonna change highway lanes with a broken blinker, it’s perfectly legal to stick your arm out the window, so maybe some laws just aren’t up to date here.
