How to STOP getting junk mail to Company address?

Posted by lclarkg18@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 6 comments

I own a small Limited company registered to my home address, and I keep receiving mail, mostly from banks/accountants/law firms, etc. Their offering is completely irrelevant to me.

They are personally addressed to me, presumably using public data from companies house or some other database, so any unaddressed mail block wouldn't work.

Is there any way I can stop this from happening?

The reason I would like it to stop is not only because it is annoying to get irrelavant mail which I waste time oppening, I also find it immensely wasteful.

You need to change your registered address to somewhere else.

I used a PO Box to keep my personal and business addresses separate. I still got business flyers in the post but when I retired and closed the PO Box these stopped completely. I just wish I'd bought a second phone because I still get the odd business enquiry on my mobile.

Don’t have company email address listed in text anywhere. Bots scan websites to collect email addresses and bulk email them with spam. Have a contact form on your contact page instead.

I get them too. If you can tell it is going to be marketing material for your business from such a company, I usually return to sender and put on the envelope that I’m not interested. It doesn’t always stop them but I always get a bit of satisfaction knowing it’ll cost them money to receive it back as well as the initial postage.

I get the same, you can’t register like you can for personal junk mail as far as I can gather. Just send back return to sender would be my advice, it is annoying.
