Re: US mail tampering

More | Report Post

I also have the same situation going on here. Since we seperated on Feb.
4th 2007 my estranged spouse has done several things pertaining to my mail.
I have changed my address with the local PO but things sent to me by
Columbia House have still been delivered to his home.
The first thing he did was send several selections back that I had ordered
from this club, which in turn forced them to close my account. I am now
being billed almost 70 dollars for my initial club obligation upon joining.
And have recieved nothing!

The second thing he did: I asked him over the phone if anything had come
for me. I let him know that the day before he kicked us out of the home
that I had ordered several movies through Columbia House and had recieved
emails stating they had been shipped. He told me nothing had come for me.
About a week later I recieve in the mail a small envelope addressed to me,
with his name and return address. Inside was a bill for the latest DVD that
had been shipped. He opened the package, kept the DVD and sent me the bill
for it.

Today in the mail I recieved something forwarded by his own hand writing.
This is also from Columbia House and is from Customer Service. As I bagan
opening it, I realized it had been taped back up, because he had already
opened it. It is a bill for the DVD he kept, plus the money owed for 2
other selections I am obligated to buy.

I also know that my daughter was expecting a $50 savings bond in the mail
for her birthday. She got a birthday card from his parents the week before
we had to move. Inside the card was one of those notice slips stating that
a US savings bond was on its way in her name.

He denies that any mail came for either me or my children.

HELP! What can I do because I have had enough of his controlling behaviour
and would like to see him get into trouble for this.
