I made the mistake of writing to Globe Life and Accident insurance Co. to find quotes on their product. I decided against using their product and canceled mailings. But I am getting mail from them about every two weeks. I have been sending all their mail 'back to sender' but I keep getting more. How do I stop this? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Same thing here, you have to contact them and ask them to take you off there mailing list.
Tried that. Will not let you talk to agent unless you have a policy.
Unsubscribe, really? Gosh why didn't they think of that. I have done everything including calling them and I get mail about every three days for insurance for parents, grandchildren, partner-it's an abuse an I hope to find a way to report them.

Out of all the phone numbers they have, you will never get an agent to take your option.
Do they include postage paid return envelopes? If so . . .
. . . we used to get SO MUCH junk mail. I heard a hint of pulling out the postage paid return envelope, tearing/shredding everything EXCEPT your name/address, stuff it all (including your name/address) back into the pre-paid envelope, and mail it back. They're paying postage to have their own crap mailed back to them. And when you leave your name & address in tact, they get the idea and remove you from their list.
:-)
(not nice, but effective)
Thanks SO much. I made the mistake over 3 years and called United of Omaha Life Insurance Company for a quote
, been getting junk mail since, I have called SEVERAL times and asked they stop sending mail and am ALWAYS told the same thing. " it will take 90 days for the mail to stop"It has been 3 years. I will start sending their junk back. Great idea, wish I had thought of it. Once again, THANK YOU...
AWESOME IDEA! I just enjoyed shredding everything and stuffing it in the envelope!
Postage paid envelopes only have a certain weight limit for the "postage paid" so if the envelope weighs over this limit the USPS will treat as waste.
However, do use these envelopes as you would a regular envelope just make sure you mark out any pre typed info (label w/ new recipients address). Postage paid by someone else. My grandmother has been doing this for years - Great Depression will do this to you!
FYI - USPS is trained to dispose of - overweight (usually 1oz) and bulky prepaid envelopes. The return company also isnt charged for the envelope - because it technically wasnt returned to them.
Just include the address portion of mailer with a note - Remove from mailing list.
Eventually, you will get a good CSR that will process your request.
I also suggest locating the companies opt out/removal procedure (see privacy policy). Return the prepaid envelopes while your waiting for your removal request to be honored.

I do the same as mrs.story. I was receiving 3 or 4 mailings every week from Capitol One Credit cards. They alway included a postage paid envelope, so I began writing on the application form (Not interested, emove my name from your mailing list. It took a few weeks of returning it all in their postage paid envelopes but they eventually got the message, and I am sure were not happy paying the postage to get their own junk mail returned to them.

FYI -
There are three different mailing list for credit cards.
* Customer (current/past) - see their privacy policy on how to stop these offers. Ex. Capital One - www.capitalone.com/
Call us toll free at 1-888-817-2970 and one of our representatives will update your privacy choices.
* Opt Out Prescreen mailing list - these offers will have this program listed in the fine print. To stop these offers - register with this program (or freeze your credit) - consumer.ftc.gov/
NOTE: If receiving pre-approved credit card/insurance offers for past residents - this is a sign they forgot to update their address with the credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion & Innovis). Register them for opt out prescreen as well! Do NOT include their SSN (of course) but DO include their middle name & DOB. This info is found in websites like truepeoplesearch, nuwber, mylife.
* Mailers mailed to every address on mail route - these offers will be mailed ECRWSS/ECRWSH (see address label). To stop these offers you will need to contact the credit card company and request
removal.
Capital one (ECRWSS/ECRWSH) - email removal request to abuse@capitalone.com & Webinfo@capitalone.com - attach the mailers image (use informed delivery image)
Citibank (ECRWSS/ECRWSH) - email removal request to mailto:customer.help@citi.com NOTE: You will receive offers in Resident, and every name variation that is connected to your address - request removal for EACH variation.
Chase (ECRWSS/ECRWSH) - email removal request to Privacy.Info@jpmchase.com
NOTE: If receiving ECRWSS/ECRWSH mailers for past resident - this is a sign that USPS still shows this individual as a current resident. Be sure to ask mail carrier to MLNA (moved left no address) this name variation. Write NOT at this address - MLNA and place in your outgoing mail.

I never return to sender I open the application and put void on and mail it back to them.
It doesn't bother me. I now fill out the cards that come in the sale papers. At least I'm helping post office raise money.
Same Problem, Same Company Globe Life. I just Got one today will give it a try and see how they like it. any suggestions on getting past residents mail in your box after 2 years Post office wont do anything?
Yes!! Writes deceased on the mail and have the postoffice return to sender. DECEASED generally has a special processing that "sender" firm that they have to follow
How to stop past resident mail
First realize there are two types of USPS mail - first class & non-first class - each is handled differently!
*/First class mail - presorted first class, forever/first class stamp, metered, priority, special endorsed
You are receiving this type of mail because - the individual forgot to submit COA (change of address), COA is expired (expires after 12 months), forgot to submit COA in that name variation (Thomas vs Tom). The mail sorting machines sort by the first four letters of the first/last name.
Write NOT at this address and place in outgoing mail. If the individual moved over 18 months ago write NOT at this address - MLNA (moved left no address) and place in your outgoing mail OR take these items to the USPS and give to the clerk. While there ask for form 3575Z (internal COA) to be filled out for each individual/each name variation (Thomas vs Tom).
EACH name variation will need their own MLNA - so be extremely diligent!
* Non-first class mail - marketing/junk, presorted STD, presorted standard stamp, or current resident, EDDM/ECRWSS/ECRWSH, charity, political, non-profit
You are receiving this type of mail because - non-first class mail is NOT forwarded via an USPS COA. Guess what you too are receiving this type of mail at EACH of your old addresses for this same reason.
The ONLY way to stop this type of mail is to contact the sender and request the removal of the name/address!
Register your address with USPS informed delivery - service emails you daily the USPS mail/packages to be delivered - use this service to aid you in your removal request - attach the mailers image as reference.
Google the return address - normally a companies email is found in their privacy policy. If unable to locate an email - use the websites contact us or live agent options.
I am receiving past resident mail and I would like this to STOP! Please remove this individual from your USPS mailing/marketing list.
Name/address on mailer)
See attached mailer as reference. (Attach informed delivery image)
NOTE: If the mailer has the wording or current resident - guess what - you ARE the current resident. This is just a marketing tactic - always a current resident - the sender doesnt have to update their mailing list. If you dont want this mailer - remove the name/address from the senders mailing list. When you remove one name be prepared to receive the same mailer in another past resident name. Just keep removing names until the mailer stops. My record is 15 names!
NOTE: If receiving preapproved credit card offers for past residents - sign they havent updated their address on their credit reports (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion & Innovis). To stop these offers register them with opt out prescreen - www.optoutprescreen.com/
NOTE: If receiving political mailers for past residents - sign they havent updated their voter registration. Contact your local election board - www.usa.gov/
NOTE: If the mailer has a postage paid envelope - return these while waiting for removal request to take affect. Be sure to attach the address portion of the mailer and write remove from mailing list. Support the USPS!
Here is a list of common USPS junk/marketing mailers with easy opt outs - docs.google.com/
FYI -
Writing DECEASED, RTS, Refused, Not at this address, MOVED, etc only works for first class mail.
Examples of First class mail - presorted first class, forever/first class stamp, metered, priority, special endorsed
Why? Non-first class mail has reduced postage attached that doesnt include forwarding/return postage.
If you write the above on non-first class mailers - they are just disposed of by USPS or they are returned to your mailbox to dispose of.
Examples of Non-first class mail - marketing/junk, presorted STD, presorted standard stamp, or current resident, EDDM/ECRWSS/ECRWSH, charity, political, non-profit
I never have spoken to any insurance company and I get endless mail from AARP and Globe Life. I never signed up for it, and don't give my information out to anyone.
I'm 31 and have been getting this stuff since I was about 24, they follow me to new addresses. AARP will probably keep sending me this junk mail until I'm 50 and actually qualify.
This happens all the time with AARP and other aging individual mailers.
Your marketing listing has been confused with someone elses - normally a parent/relative with the same name.
Search your name in website truepeoplesearch - any addresses you dont recognize attached to your name?
Just in case make sure your credit reports (Experian, Equifax,TransUnion & Innovis) have the correct DOB - consumer.ftc.gov/
Also, make sure social security office has your correct info.

I have many more aging individual mailer opt outs if needed - just reply.
I used a simple trick. After receiving dozens of junk mail from Globe. I simple wrote on the envelope "RETURN DECEASED" Guess what? No more GL junk mail :-)
I tried returning to sender writing deceased, the post office returned it to me not to Globe so suggestion did not work
My suggestion then is to put the original mailer that you received from globe life and put it in another envelope with their address on it and send it back to them on the original envelope they sent you right return deceased maybe that will work
You have a wonderful mail carrier - I wish we all did. Your mail carrier took care of this for you!
