Try to get through to USPS to make a correction of any kind! It has been a nightmare today and I still have not been able to make the necessary correction to get my mail forwarded to my new address.

So when you fill put the form, does it stop sending mail to your old address immediately?

I have received two change of address in the last four months and have to go to the post office to correct it. I have an address from the last forwarding and the Post office will not follow up. Isin't this a Fed thing, who looks into this problem, someone needs to be in jail.

The information provided above, while valuable, is inconsistent with the truth. I just completed two changes of address cards, which I endorsed, and at no time did I have to surrender identification to anyone.

Wow, are these comments for real? are these real people?? These are the most asinine, pointless, unintelligible comments I've ever seen.
As for the USPS, they are worthless for both privacy protection and identity verification. What else would you expect? I certainly don't feel comfortable relying on them to prevent someone from changing my address without authorization, and I have my reservations about giving them my credit card information to change my address.
But then, what did you expect in this country? When was the last time someone at the supermarket even bothered looking at the signature on your credit card?

I've moved around a lot in the last few years and the letter I receive with the address change, does state the new address. We had to get a PO box to get my husband's mail away from him ex wife's house without her getting the new address because of this very reason.
Also, there is no id checked. I print the form on line, or pick up at the PO office and simply sign my name. No one knows whether it's really me or not...but that's the extent of the "ID CHECK."
It's really not that complicated to do, and it could easily be done by an ex and mail could be forwarded before you start to notice the problem, let alone get it corrected.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO TO CONTACT IN HIS BEHALF.ACCT HAS BEEN CLOSED TO FURTHER PROTECT...
I know that she uses the name Michele A. Delare & has had money from his CCU ACCT transferred to her bank. She is also using my son's last name claiming to be married to him. I have the records as I am the primary on the acct. Security at the CCU strains a gnat & swallows a camel in some instances thereby placing in her possission pvt family info. Change of addr came to my home but I asssumed that he had submitted.
