Previous condo tenants still using my address, how to solve?

[Ano727]

Hi everyone,

 

Just need your friendly advise, perhaps some of you have encoutered similar situation. How can I get rid of unwanted mails being delivered to my address, presumably intended for previous tenants and previous owner of the small condo unit where I now stay. Its been more than a year now since I bought and moved to this new place and still, I get a lot of post mails intended for previous owners/tenants. Tried reaching the previous owner but is no longer reachable. I checked the gov website but did not find a way how I can raise and address this concern.

 

Thanks, your help will be appreciated.

U can strike off the address and write 'No such person' and drop the mails back 'Return mail' box.

 

u can do this at the post office. or I have seen newer hdb letter box has this.

I'm using marker and write 'Not staying here anymore' or 'No such person' etc

on the surface of the envelope and put it in the 'returned' mailbox.

Thanks Slayer, good idea, will try this.

Thanks as well Melissa for your suggestion, this is indeed helpful.

 

If there are any other ideas from the rest, kindly let me know. Appreciated very much.

I once received a packet delivered to my letter box but addressee wasn't from my family. It was in a plastic envelope. I crossed out the name and wrote 'n

no such person', left it at the returned mail box.

 

Few weeks later, received the same packet with the marker words removed.

I now used a pen to cross out the name and wrote " no such person, stop sending it back to me!" That was the last time I saw this packet.

Sorry Bro, Hijack ur tread.

 

What about those unwanted mails from Banks and Insurance? Every month get those mails thinking it is some credit card payment or insurance due. End up it's just some promotion...very annoying.

 

Can do the same? NO SUCH PERSON, and dump it in the return mail?

Go report to Police.

 

Its a offense not to update one's address.

forget about reporting to police. unless u're receiving gahmen letters then u should consider going to the police.

 

the change of address system by ICA works in such a way where only 20 gahmen agencies are notified straight of the change in address.

 

all banks and those pte stuff will never noe until u notify them. just call up all these pple and tell them to stop sending it to u. solves the problem rite?

NOt reporting change of address to mailers is not an offence. Not reporting to ICA is!

keep all unwanted mails till it's full in a box, sell to garang guni for recycle.
