I can't stand this. Not a day goes by almost that I don't get mail from either Citibank (that's the worst) or RBC and today CIBC offering me credit cards. These come directly to me, some have my maiden name, and I think this is so scary for identity theft purposes. Peronsally I have called citibank now about 4 times to have them taken off my mailing list. They now finally have stopped delivering mail to my old address, but last week I just got something from them delivered to my new address. I'm so angry at this. What can I do to stop it once and for all?

Return to sender all of them.. it might take a little while but eventually they'll taper off and stop. It requires no money out of your pocket, all you do is write 'Return to Sender' with a slash through the name and addy and stick it back in the mailslot.
I'm in a rental house and I used to get these all the time for old tenants, they've stopped now using this method.

Tha'ts a good idea and I do that with most of them that don't have my name on it.

thanks that's a great site actually. I really like the idea of sending back other junk mail to them using their own envelope and wasting their own postage.
