How to get previous owners mail stopped

The pesky problem of unwanted mail from previous owners! Here are some steps to help you stop receiving mail from previous owners:

  1. Contact the USPS: Reach out to your local post office or the United States Postal Service (USPS) customer service department. Provide them with the previous owner's name and address, and ask them to stop forwarding mail to your address. You can also fill out a change of address form with the USPS to update your address and stop mail from being forwarded to your new address.
  2. Contact the previous owner: If you have the previous owner's contact information, you can try reaching out to them directly and asking them to stop sending mail to your address. This may be a more effective approach if you have a good relationship with the previous owner.
  3. Contact the sender: If you know who is sending the mail (e.g., a bank, credit card company, or magazine), you can contact them directly and ask them to update their records to reflect your new address. You can also ask them to remove your name from their mailing list.
  4. File a complaint with the FTC: If you're receiving unsolicited mail from a company that's violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) or the Junk Fax Prevention Act, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
  5. Use the USPS's "Opt-Out" service: The USPS offers an "Opt-Out" service that allows you to stop receiving mail from specific senders. You can fill out a form on the USPS website or contact your local post office to learn more about this service.
  6. Use a mail-blocking service: There are several mail-blocking services available that can help you stop receiving unwanted mail. These services use algorithms to identify and block unwanted mail, and some even offer additional features like mail tracking and notification.

Some popular mail-blocking services include:

Remember to always verify the authenticity of any service or company before signing up for their services.

I hope these steps help you stop receiving unwanted mail from previous owners!
