| |
|
We've all found our name on a junk mailing list at one time or
another. It's frustrating to continuously receive unsolicited
and unwanted mail that only ends up becoming landfill. If you're
not interested in receiving piles of catalogs and solicitations
in your daily mail, you'll be happy to know that this is easily
remedied.
One way to remove your name from a mailing list is to go
directly to the source. Contact the business or individual and
request your name be deleted from their files. You can do this
over the phone, but it will probably better to do this in
writing since it's a good idea to have a paper trail.
You might also be able to go to the businesses' web site and
request removal. Request confirmation that this has been done.
If a business continues to send you mail after several requests,
you might be able to file harassment charges, so it pays to keep
good records.
There are also organizations in which you can register to have
your name removed from multiple mailing lists. The Direct
Marketing Association is one of those organizations. Since it
handles mailing lists from hundreds of different companies, you
can go to their website and request removal. This will keep your
name off of their junk mailing lists for five years at which
time you can put in another request. If you submit the form
online it will cost $5.00. To submit your request for free, you
can send it the old fashioned way to the P.O. Box listed on the
DMA's website. If you'd like to be removed from junk or spam
email mailing lists, you can also do this at the DMA's website.
No one wants their mailbox clogged with unwanted catalogs and
solicitations from banks, credit cards companies and others. If
this is happening to you, you can take steps to prevent this
from happening. Not only will you save your home from clutter;
you'll protect the environment as well.
