The Data & Marketing Association’s Mail Preference Service lets consumers opt out of receiving unsolicited commercial mail from many national companies for ten years at a time. Once you register with this service for a $2 fee, your name is put in a “delete” file made available to direct-mail marketers. However, your registration will not stop mailings from organizations that do not use the DMA’s Mail Preference Service. To register go to www.dmachoice.org.

Unsolicited Mail, Telemarketing and Email: Where to Go to "Just Say No" is free information from the Federal Trade Commission on how you can cut down on the number of unsolicited mailings, calls and emails you receive.

Opt out of all pre-approved credit offers by calling toll-free at 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688).
