I was a customer of Virgin about 5 years ago, and regularly still receive post from them, but I can't stop them. The post isn't actually addressed to me, it's to "The Occupier", Flat B,.....


I have tried ringing them/emailing to stop them on a number of occasions, have tried returning to sending, but all to no avail.


I have just had a quick squizz on the mail order prefs website, but they cannot intervene because they cannot deal with post sent to "The Occupier", or if you have been a customer of the company in the past.


I know on a world scale that this is quite trivial, but it does p!ss me off - any suggestions as to how to stop it? Would it work if I forwarded it to Richard Branson's home address for instance?

These letters are sent to everyone in a Virgin Media catchment area.


I get them and have never been a customer.


Any similar mail. with no address on it.


I there is a return envelope, Send it back to them Empty. (Check there are none of your details.)


They will have to pay the postage.

If everone did this it would cost them dearly.

I've been tempted to send these back, unopened, saying "not known at this address" (even when it says occupier on it!). And I'm sorely tempted to gather up all the mail that Foxtons send me over the next couple of months and either do the same, or take it in personally (or let Mr Twirly do it when he's in a particularly bad mood).


This "loophole" in the mail preference service drives me nuts! We should be able to register the address, not just our names for it.

Can't remember details but wasn't there a post a while ago about the idea of sending all such unwanted mail to the BNP who had a Freepost postal address which was very similar to one that everyone knew about and loved.

Hmmm my memory's not what - what was I saying?

I should try this


I've never been a customer of theirs, but I reckon I've had more than 25 letters a year (for several years) from these clowns and I'm heartily sick of it

I'm on every 'don't send me anything list going (MPS, the Royal Mail opt out) but they just keep on coming

There is never a return envelope included

    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
    • Was it the two proxy votes that had swung it for Cllr McAsh in the first round? Interesting that he lost by two votes in the second. One wonders what the next move for Cllr McAsh is and whether the infighting will continue between the various factions within Southwark Labour?
    • Has anything emerged as to how the reported misinterpretation of rules ruling out proxy votes occurred, or what the specific fault was?  I've found and looked through https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Labour-group-model-standing-orders-2023.pdf, which afaics seems to be a prime relevant document.  It allows for local council Labour groups making minor amendments to cater for their council's particular form of organisation.  I've not seen any _explicit_ mention of proxy voting in the model SOs document itself.  I'm  attaching my notes on it.     re_Labour-Group-Model-SOs.txt
