So far- have you found any particular methods to be the most effective? (Return postage envelopes with a form letter, online tools, other options)
My grandma, who passed a bit less than two years ago is still receiving all sorts of junk mail. I have tried unsubscribing normal ways from some of it (online forms, etc) and none of that seems to work at all.
I do use the "do not mail" junk mail opt-outs which has reduced the volume that comes in both her name and mine, but there's still loads of "previously accepted/subscribed-to mail" that I can't seem to put a stop to- even if I use the publisher/sender's preferred opt-out method.
- myself248 6y agoI used to get a TON of mail for the guy who previously lived at my address. Even eight years after he moved. So I'd call the various companies and ask them to stop. And one miraculous time, I ended up talking with a rep who told me The Secret. Paraphrasing: "I can remove him from our database, but he'll be back in a few weeks when we do our next import from the credit brokers. That's where you need to focus your effort, try Equifax." Funny thing was, I could not find a form for "My name is Alice and I swear Bob no longer lives at 123 Main", but I could find a form for "My name is Bob and I swear I no longer live at 123 Main". So I filled that out, didn't sign it, and sent it in. It slowed to a trickle within a month or two, and all but stopped within a year after that. I just filled out https://pc2.mypreferences.com/Comcast/OptOut/Default.aspx https://pc2.mypreferences.com/Comcast/OptOut/Default.aspx so we'll see if that stems the deluge of Xfinity mailers...
