Oh...:smirk:

Brilliant, so much for Cameron and his shopping bag tax, Tax Virgin for all the crap they keep sending through the post

Thank you... from The Householder

im a tramp, living in a tent. i get at least 2 of these annoying letters delivered weekly

Praying this works. I am sick of all the junk they send.

thank you. have filled in the form

This Virgin form will *only* stop mail addressed to you by the name on the Junk Mail.

If the mail come to "The Household" or "The Homeowner", it doesn't count if you've opted out by your real name. If you're getting junk in your name, then this form will work if you use the same name.

Should you opt out of the Royal Mail unaddressed, technically even a letter with your address on and "The homeowner" would still legally have to be delivered to your property. Royal Mail don't filter by the electoral role to stop those letters as they are addressed to 'someone' at the property - even if thats Mr/Mrs/Professor Homeowner.

If you do opt-out of Royal Mail, it's worth noting that:


Have a read of this:

Best freebie ever :smiley: Hot hot hot

if this doesn't work and you're either:

a) Morally opposed to the idea of simply sending it back with the words "return to sender" attached
b) Too outraged to simply put it in the bin

Why not try burning it? http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2145303.htm

I used to have a steering wheel between my legs that did that

I get generic Virgin promo leaflets through my door, but the worst bit is I can't even get it in my area. Was the exact same situation at my previous address too.

Thanks OP, really helpful, these have been annoying me for a while


pretty sure its virgin media redirecting you, and not taking you to the actual page linked from hukd.

They did the same with us by adding 'a' after our number

I've been meaning to opt out for ages but never got round to doing it! I finally have thanks to this post. virgin honestly send me promotional leaflets, letters, flyers etc etc at least 3 times a week. Not anymore :smile::smile::smile:

Weird, I don't recall ever getting any mail from Virgin and I was with them for my mobile for years!

On the other hand I am often getting TalkTalk junk mail even though I am already with them.

cheers

Ah-mazing! Those bloody mobile a4 letters do my head in, i swear i feel like i get them every week and they go straight in the bin - their customer service is even worse!!!!

That is rather odd. "Don't want to hear from Virgin Media? Then have a look at Virgin Media's best offers!". Makes perfect sense.

I filled out a form a couple of years back to stop getting junk mail - Virgin started sending post to a non-existent Flat 1 at my address instead to get round it.

Cheers

why have the mods altered the link to an affiliate virgin thing? despicable.

Great

These are a joke. I recently moved flat and we get about 2-3 of these every week. Just whyyy?

done thank you. get far too many mobile offers in the post

Thank you... from The Householder

Thanks op this has been driving me nuts

Love how they give you this top at the end to opt out of all other none addressed mail Simply, email your name and address [email protected] , or visit Royal Mail for more details.

I tried the more direct approach and called Virgin Media. It took FOUR CALLS over the space of about 1 and a half years for them to comprehend my rather simple request to remove my name from their junk mail list. The only reason they had my details at all was because my dad had NTL cable in this flat - and of course Virgin bought NTL and they for some reason thought I'd enjoy being bombarded every single month without fail by offers of no interest to me.

They don't half get uppity when you ask to be "removed from your junk mail list" - one employee exclaiming "junk mail....?" YES!! You know that stuff I never ever asked to be sent, is of no interest to me as I have no intention of signing up with Virgin, and therefore is junk mail. There is not one single company in 12 years of living here that has ever come remotely close to being as big a PEST as Virgin are. The fact that they ignore your request the first few times ensured that even if they had the best offer around, I would never even consider them as a provider for anything.

Save our postal system and don't privatise it.......

Oh...:smirk:

I still get junk posted from RM too. I asked a friend who is a postman about this, and he said they do it because it takes them too long to sift through the people who don't want it, and it's too much hassle for some of them.

Your right i opt -out from royal mail and still get loads of junk from them.
someone said on one of the threads on here to save up all your junk mail and then post it back to royal mail sounded a good idea might give it ago.

im so glad you posted this. thank you OP

If you opt out with Royal mail, don't hold your breath. The posties get paid for putting junk mail through your door and therefore will ignore it.

Thanks

Save your postal system and just recycle it.

Finally a simply way to stop this crap for the last 4 years. All I did was inquire in there shop what they had on offer in my area but took it no further.

At last - Now Virgin can get screwed!!!!

Looks like the mods have tinkered with the link. Try this https://keepup.virginmedia.com/optout#

Nice idea, but link goes to Virgin. Where is the form?

At last! Heat. Save the planet, opt out of VM junk mail.
