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

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area
