Posted in When Moving on the December 29, 2007

The point of this article about the change of address service is to help you to the next level and show you what this amazing subject has to offer.

Have you ever met someone that moves a great deal? My son definitely falls into this category. He has always been this way. He even liked to move from one bed room to another within our house when he was growing up. He would tell me that he liked to see the different scenery out the windows. He enjoys meeting new people and seeing different parts of the country. He has long term stable friendships; yet is likes to meet new people as well. He is a consultant with a major marketing firm. The consultation job means that he does a great deal of traveling which is perfect for him.

In the position that he is in he needs to stay in one place for six months to a year and then travels to another company in a different location. He likes to rent different apartments in the cities that he works in rather than renting hotel suites. By living in apartments he gets to know more people outside those that are working for the company is a consultant for. All this moving does create a problem regarding his mail. He can have many things sent to his home office address however there are bills and personal mail that he likes to receive when he is staying in the various apartments. He uses a change of address service to help him keep track of his mail. When he first started his job he would notify the post offices of his various moves, however it was difficult for his mail to keep up with him. This caused some missed bills as well as missed personal correspondence. He was concerned his credit rating would become affected so he hired a change of address service to help him with his mailing. This has been very helpful for him and for those of us that want to send him things. He maintains the same email address and the same cell phone number; however there are times when regular mail needs to be sent.

As we continue, we will take a look at how this new information can be implemented in very special ways.

The change of address service is who he contacts when he is going to relocate. He lets them know where he had lived and where he is moving to. The service then tracks all of his incoming mail to make sure that it gets forwarded to where it needs to be. Since he has been using the service he is no longer missing billing dates or personal correspondence. This works much better than trying to have someone from his home office forward the mail to him. I hope some day that he will settle down in one place, but for now he seems very content with his roaming lifestyle.

What you have learned while reading this informative article about the change of address service, is knowledge that you can keep with you for a lifetime.

Remember To Fill Out The Change Of Address Forms

By the end of this article about changing your address, you should have gained enough new knowledge on this subject to be able to explain its main points to another person.

My daughter and her husband have finally settled into a home that I hope they will live in for a long time. They have been married for four years and have moved five times. The packing and unpacking as well as changing their legal identification has been a hassle. When they first were married they moved into the apartment that my daughter had been subletting. They were suppose to be able to live there for two years, however the person that they were subletting from lost their job overseas and wanted to move back into the apartment. The couple packed all of there things and moved into a small house that had been for sale for three years. The owners of the house were renting it out until they could find a buyer. Six weeks after they had moved in the house sold and they needed to relocate again. Again they found an apartment to rent and moved in. They liked the location in relation to where they each worked. They thought that they would live in this location for a time while they saved money to buy a house and start a family. Unexpectedly my son-in-law was given a promotion. It was a great opportunity and a nice raise in pay; unfortunately they had to move to another city. Once again they were packing and looking for a place to live. They found an apartment and moved in. Shortly after they were settled my daughter found out she was pregnant. They did not want to raise a child in an apartment, so they found a home to purchase and moved once again.

All the moves happened before they were able to accumulate extra household items like you do when you stay in a place for a while, however the change of address was starting to catch up with them. They had filled out so many change of address forms from the post office that their mail was not always getting to them. They ended up having some outstanding bills for utilities as well as cable because by time the mail was forwarded once they had relocated again. They had filled out the change of address forms promptly each time, however some companies request the post office to return bills with a change of address notice. By time the bill got back to the company and was reprocessed and sent to the new address they had moved again. This was repeated and one company assumed my daughter and son-in-law were giving false addresses to avoid bills. They sent the bills to collections before the couple ever received them. They found out about these outstanding bills when a credit check was done when they were being approved for their home loan. They had to pay off the bills and penalties as well as write letters to the credit companies to clear their names. Hopefully now that they have their own home they will stay put for a period of time so their mail can catch up to them.
