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

    • has lost a Bengal cat there was one wandering around Townley Road this morning - I'm assuming it is not the norm for this fellow to be out and about solo but I'm not a cat expert... IMG_5815.heic IMG_5819 2.heic
    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond. Here's my profile https://catinaflat.co.uk/pet-sitter/377081 Ping me a message if you need help or have any questions!
    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
