Can Catalog Choice be used to stop other junk mail in addition catalogs?

Catalog Choice cannot be used to stop other junk mail in addition catalogs. It is important to note that Catalog Choice is a service offered by the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) that allows consumers to opt-out of receiving catalogs and other promotional mail from its member companies. Catalog Choice does not cover other types of junk mail such as postcards, circulars, or advertisements sent by non-DMA member companies.

To reduce other types of junk mail, consider the following options:

1. Contact the sender directly: If you are receiving unwanted mail, you can contact the sender directly and ask them to remove your name from their mailing list.

2. Opt-out of prescreened offers: The pre-approved credit card offers you receive are generated from information shared by credit bureaus. The credit bureaus sell your information to these lenders; however, they provide an opt-out choice. You can permanently remove your name from the list of prospects by requesting it with all three major credit bureaus. Use these numbers to contact them:

* Equifax: (888) 5-OPTOUT (567-8688)

* Experian: (888) 397-3742 (397-3742)

* TransUnion: (888) 909-8872 (909-8872)

3. Contact the post office: You can also contact your local post office and request to opt out of receiving unwanted mail.

4. Use a mailing address privacy service: There are services available that provide a unique mailing address to receive mail on your behalf, which can help reduce the amount of junk mail you receive.

If you continue to receive unwanted mail after taking these steps, you may need to consider more drastic measures such as filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or your state's consumer protection agency.
