Ban junk mail generically addressed to "The Occupier", "The Householder" etc

Petition Details

Please ban these addressed forms of junk mail now, i.e. mail addressed to generic addressees (e.g. The Occupier) where no commercial relationship is already in place.

Additional Information

Unsubscribing (Royal Mail Door to Door opt out, MPS (Mail Preference Service), and DMA's "Your Choice" scheme) do nothing, because these mailings have an "addressee" on them.

We think these unwanted mailings are a complete waste of paper and irritating to many people. Many people didn't ask for them, but have to deal with them. We think producing them may also add extra cost to the products and services we buy, because companies may include the cost of producing junk mail into the prices we pay.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
