what do you do with it?

Write 'The addressee no longer lives here' and post it back.

We got really bored of it all once and started putting 'The dweller no longer dwells at the dwelling' and stuff.

- Yeah, this
  
  there's this one guy who clearly avoided all bills, council tax and credit expenses so we get angry post for him daily.
  
  We piled it all up recently, took it all to the pub and sat for a good hour writing RTS on each one. Only RTS soon turned into things like Runny Tit Sweat and Ron's Turgid Sack etc.

Write "no longer at this address" on the envelope

and pop it back in the post box.

Or give it to your letting agent if they have any way of contacting them.

Keep it in a pile with good intentions to send it all on in one go

Never send it on, eventually recycle it

- is recycling it acceptable?

  - If it's junk mail (and that's pretty obvious most of the time) then I think so.
    
    For other stuff it's could technically be a criminal offence but I can't see anyone thinking it was worth prosecuting, even if they could win.

Fucking hell!

I have a big black marker and I just write 'No longer at this address' on the envelope and then post it back.

And no fucker pays any attention. I want to know if there's a way to prove to the Post Office that only the people who live there still live there and to just automatically bounce letters for anyone else.

Seriously, the lady sold her flat to us and didn't spend 10 mins at the post office putting a fucking redirect in? It's not just junk mail either. Some of it is clearly stuff from banks and from stocks and shares people. WOULDN'T YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR OWN MONEY?

colinzealuk this'd this
- yeah this is true actually, companies never pay attention.
  
  At my last flat someone who previously lived there owned some company a fuck load of money and we kept getting FINAL WARNING BILLS which we consistently posted back. One day we were home and a debt collector visited and we were like "errrr, no, they don't live here any more". Baffling it took someone to visit for them to realise when we'd been telling them ourselves for months.

  - One share company did take notice actually.
    
    It only took them about 2 years to send one that said ' or The Current Occupier' on the envelope. Inside it gave us a sheet to send back saying either we were the current holder of the shares (+ proof), we knew where the current owners were, or go away because we know nothing. I appreciate that.

do you have to use a stamp when you send the letters back?

alcxxk | 22 Apr '13, 11:45 | X
- no

They sit on the side causes me low level stress

for about 4 months, then I bin them.

Sometimes I open them to see what they are. Mostly crap.

moker | 22 Apr '13, 11:52 | X
open it

read it

throw it in the bin

If it's from Waitrose, open it and use the vouchers they sometimes send

all other times put it straight into recycling

Once we received a birthday card and put it on our mantlepiece

Fuzzy_Dunlop | 22 Apr '13, 11:54 | X
We have a big side table in the hall with a drawer in it

I put them in there. My housemates don't, they leave them out in amongst all our mail which really annoys me. I keep meaning to ring our letting agency to let them know about it all

Post for old occupants of my house:

Did the shutters ever shut properly? I can't tell if I just don't have a knack for it or if they're always going to be like that. Also, did you ever go up that mysterious staircase?

ideserve2 | 22 Apr '13, 12:02 | X
Got their polling cards the other day

Not sure what to do with them. Might get my electoral fraud on.

Steved | 22 Apr '13, 12:43 | X
tear them into tiny pieces

and dance/roll around in them whilst singing a camp classic if your choice

Burn it like a shit version of wicker man

Nothing important gets sent by letter anymore

IF ONLY GEOFFREY HAD PAID HIS FUCKING WATER BILL
