"Come back to BT"

Getting sick of these letters and it seems there's no way of talking to someone to get them stopped.

I've re-addressed it with their own BT Response, BRISTOL, BS35 3ZZ address and stuck it back in the envelope with a note asking them to stop sending them. But I just stuck it in the postbox without postage affixed, this should end up costing them to accept the letter correct?

Make a papier mache dinosaur out of them.

i had to pay to recieve my birthday card from my sister cos she forgot to put a stamp on it :mad:

but they obviously don't have to... (as in ignore the letter)

I used to get loads of rubbish from one particular company and nothing seemed to stop them. In the end I wrote RECIPIENT DECEASED, RETURN TO SENDER on the envelope and put it in a letterbox. Nothing since. It's worth a try.

Not in a surcharge way but they have an account where they pay the postage at their end.

registered with the tps? (telephone preference service) stops all junk mail too. But I don't mind junk mail - it gives people a job right.

Go back to BT.

Just throwing that out there.

Probably better off with the mps to stop junk mail!

It's MPS you want - not TPS. Once registered you can beat BT over the head with it - as I recently did to Virgin. Still doesn't stop them mailbombing the entire district though.

Junk mail is much more difficult to stop than phonecalls. My dear old mum forgot to tick the box on a charity donation.

The ******* sold her address to every other charity, and she now gets hit with roughly a dozen begging mailings a week. I've told her to write undelivered and put them in a post box, but she can't bring herself to do it.

She'll open every single one and wring her hands that she can't give money to all of them. I've got her partly convinced that if any charity gets her money it should not be one that buys addresses.

It must take all of 1 second to 'file' any unwanted mail in the appropriate place.

Come back to BT eh!
As in, Have you forgotten yet why you left BT? You haven't? OK, see you next week.
Or British Gas have a similar policy of 'If you come back to us, we promise to stop pestering you'

If you were a customer of BT then they don't have to surpress your record even if you are on MPS as they have a relationship with you.

Indeed not, but I'll assume the OP isn't a BT customer and I wasn't a Virgin customer. :confused:

We still have a BT line but we moved 2 numbers to a VoIP provider.
