Anyone who wants to reduce the amount of prospect marketing mail they receive may register for the mail suppression service called DMAchoice provided by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), which is independent of the United States Postal Service. To “Remove” your name from common mailing lists, you may register, along with a nominal processing fee:

This service will not eliminate all promotional mail. It does not apply to promotional mail from companies or organizations that consumers have an existing business relationship. It also does not apply to local retailers, restaurants, and political organizations. You should expect to see a major reduction in the overall volume of prospect promotional offers received. Please note that ANA is not the source of consumer names for marketing purposes. This opt-in mail suppression service is a tool to assist consumers in managing their marketing offers.
The ANA has additional information for consumers about compliance tools and best practices, you can also file a complaint, or email ethics@ana.net.
In addition, the three major credit-reporting services (Equifax, Experian & TransUnion) also offer a name removal option for prescreened offers at: 1-888-5-OPT-OUT (1-888-567-8688) or visit www.optoutprescreen.com.
