There are a few ways you can opt out of companies' catalogs directly: Visit the company website for a direct process for removal from their mailing list. Call the company customer service directly to formally request an opt out. Request an opt out via company email. Request an opt out via traditional company mail.
Dear Sir/Madam, This is a request that my personal information is removed from all of your mailing lists for unsolicited mail. I would like my name and address removed, effective immediately. You are currently sending unsolicited mail to: insert name, address, and zip code.
You could unsubscribe to some of these manually by contacting the company's customer service, but it's easier and more efficient to try and remove your name from these lists entirely. DMAChoice, a tool offered by the Data & Marketing Association, lets you remove your name and address from a number of these lists.
Call (888) 567-8688 to get off marketing lists for preapproved credit and insurance offers with all of the major credit bureaus (this does not affect your ability to apply for credit or insurance).
To decide what types of mail you do and don't want from marketers, register at the Direct Marketing Association's (DMA) consumer website DMAchoice, and choose what catalogs, magazine offers, and other mail you want to get. DMAchoice will stop most, but not all, promotional mail.
The company must honor your request within 10 business days. If there's no way to opt out or if you still get unwanted email from the company after 10 business days, tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.
You can do this by contacting the Direct Marketing Association's (DMA) or Mail Preference Service. Select the best opt-out registration method that meets your needs. Opt-out is a term used to describe a consumer desire to no longer receive unsolicited mail from a particular company.
Periodically email or call the companies and ask to be removed from their mailing lists (check their privacy policy page for exact opt out contact details). This is the most effective way to get off mailing lists.
To unsubscribe from a list, take the email address of the list, add -leave just before the @ symbol, and send a message. You can email a blank message; the computer doesn't care. The fact that you're emailing the list with the -leave command in front of the @ symbol is all it needs.
