What Counts as Junk Mail?
Junk mail is any mail that you didn’t ask for but arrives in your mailbox anyway. Junk mail is typically challenging to stop and can be annoying as it keeps piling up. There may be days when you receive nothing but junk mail. Some examples are:
- Advertisements
- Catalogs
- Credit card offers
- Offers from organizations you don’t belong to
- Mortgage loan offers
Why Am I Getting Junk Mail in the First Place?
The reason you get junk mail is that it works. Organizations get millions of dollars every year from people who open all their mail and respond to advertisements. Large companies use promotions to get your information and then sell your information for even more money.
Once you are on these mailing lists, it can be tough to get off of them. Credit card companies are very aggressive about continuing to send junk mail to individuals even if they’ve asked to stop receiving it.
Can I Opt Out of Junk Mail on Behalf of Someone Else?
It can be especially painful to receive junk mail from someone else when they’ve passed away or have moved to a retirement facility. There are several ways to stop the mail from coming, but none of them are guaranteed to work. Even after you’ve made it clear that the person no longer lives in your home, their junk mail can keep piling up.
Should I Opt Out Permanently or Just for a Specific Time Period?
There may be times when you only want to opt out of getting certain offers for a certain period of time. You may get tired of certain catalogs but want them back at some point. However, it can be complicated to arrange this. Either the catalogs never stop coming or they won’t start again once the opt-out period is over. There must be a better way to deal with junk mail.
How to Stop Mortgage Junk Mail on Your Own
Stopping junk mail on your own takes time and energy, but you do have a few options.
- You can call an opt-out hotline. Sadly, these hotlines often put you on hold or remain busy for long periods.
- You can go online to remove yourself from lists electronically, but often you’ll continue to get it anyway.
- You can give private information (including your social security number) to websites claiming to stop junk mail for you. Unfortunately, many of these sites are scams and will steal your information.
Trying to stop junk mail from coming on your own should not be as tricky as it is. Luckily, you have other options.
Next Steps to Stop Mortgage Junk Mail if You Can’t Do It Yourself
As stated above, trying to yourself not only takes time and energy but also endangers your personal information. You do have other options, including:
| Paying someone to stop the junk mail for you | Several organizations will stop it for you, but they charge a fee. It can get costly as you have to pay a separate fee for each type of mail. |
| You can get a consumer advocate involved | There are consumer advocates who work for newspapers in every city, but they are swamped. So you have to get their attention, and they have to think your case is newsworthy enough to take it. |
All of these methods take time and money you may not have. Luckily, DoNotPay will stop you from getting junk mail quickly and easily.
