Historically, the US Post office did have a Postal Savings System. [1] Several other countries still have similar systems. I'm not sure that the US post office is the best place to solve this problem right now, but it's not unprecedented. In the case of the US Post office, they have a constitutional mandate to deliver the mail, so I'm doubtful they can even threaten refusal of delivery as a penalty. if the P.O. is in the loan biz and my letter carrier knows his job exists because people don't do biz with capital one, then physical spam from capital one might not make it into my mailbox, just sayin. Delay or destruction of mail is a federal crime that carries an up-to-five-year penalty.
