You know what pisses me off? Getting no “real” mail each day and just getting those blasted ads and credit card offers. Well now you can deal a Junk Mail Death Blow by doing the below 2 steps (or 3 if you are really aggressive):

1. Stop receiving preauthorized credit card offers:

Stop Credit Card Offers Opt Out Prescreen

This is provided by the credit agencies. Yes it is free. It requires your Social Security # which the three credit reporting agencies already have. It can also be done by phone. Note the difference between the 5 year and permanant which must be done by mail. If you are not sure about this web site try calling one of the three credit agencies and asking them how you can opt out of getting mailed those credit card offers.

2. Stop receiving junk mail from the 2,500 members of the Direct Marketing Association:

Stop the Direct Marketing Association

Please note that the Direct Marketing Association requires a Credit Card for Address Verification. Make sure you select permanant opt out of all mailings. This is free. There is an option to mail in a card and a check for $1. If you have a PayPal account I recommend you download their toolbar temporarily to generate a one time use credit card number for use on the Direct Marketing Association site.

I completed both of these.
Both sites have https:// which is reassuring.

3. If you want to get really aggressive then contact the mailing/marketing/owners companies for all those “add mailings” places. If they refuse to stop sending you junk file a complaint with your state attorney generals office. And you can read this page: Take the Battle Against Junk Mail Even Farther
