The next step to take is to register with the Mailing Preference Service, which can reduce the amount of personally addressed direct mailings that you receive by up to 95%. Personally addressed mailings are those that have a named addressee.
Registering with the Mailing Preference Service (MPS)
You can use the MPS to register for yourself, other members of your household or a previous resident.
Registering with the MPS will reduce the amount of personally addressed mailings you receive for each person in your household that has registered. It will not stop mail that has been sent from overseas, mail addressed to “The Occupier”, or unaddressed mail. (You can also expect to continue to receive mailings from companies with whom you have done business in the past).
It can take up to four months for the MPS to have full effect, although you should notice a reduction of the mail during this period. Registering with the MPS is free of charge.
