I just moved in my new flat and I receive masses of letters, addressed to tenants who lived here years ago. How can I send back to the sender all these letters so they'll know that these people no longer live here and stop sending any more letters to my flat? I am so pissed off!!!!

This used to be part of my job when I worked at a sorting office, cross out the address write on the envelope "Not at this address please return to sender" and draw a circle around the return address. If the address is on the back of the envelope add P.T.O

I know just what you mean. I bought my house in US eight years ago and some people who lived here before that still use this address and the cops come with warrants for some of them on a regular basis. I ask the postal service and get a so what. I mark the item return to sender - not at this address - please remove this address from your records. Everyone just ignores that as they are too lazy to do their job and you go to jail if you throw away mail. Just mark out your address and put it back into the post box without comment and this forces the post office guys to do their job and send it back and charge for the service.

In the US you just simply write "return to sender" on the envelope and take it back to the post office or put it in your mail box for outgoing mail. There is also a change of address form that can be filled out so the post office knows that mail only in your name is to be sent to that address.

One way is to write: Return to sender on the envelope and send it back to the sender. Another way is to notify the post office and have them keep the unwanted mail.

Cross out the address and write:-
"Return to Sender - No longer living at this address"
then post them in a postbox - there is no need to add a stamp.

Write "return to sender" on the envelope and drop it in the out going mail box. You might also write on there "no longer lives here"

Write on the unopened mail........"Return to sender" and just drop it into a post box. No additional stamps needed.

Scribble over the original address and write' goneaway - no longer at this address' and pop into a post box.
Companies have 'goneaway' procedures that will stop you receiving the mail. It will take time to get through each one though.

On the envelope write "Return to Sender" or "Wrong address" It will stop...
