| How to deter junk mail |
- Contact the Royal Mail on 0845 774 0740
- Put a notice on your letter box - "No Junk Mail" - this really does seem to work
- Ask your credit card company to mark your account "Do not sell or trade my name to another company"
- Try to avoid giving out your address if possible, when signing up for things
- Warn firms etc to stop sending you mail or you'll stop supporting them (you could ask them nicely, first...)
- Get your name on the Mailing Preference list; contact the Mailing Prefence Service 0845 703 4599
- Choose a fake middle name or initial when you sign up for things - this will indicate the culprit if someone starts illegally distributing your details
