Do I have any legal recourse against a company that sends promo mail after I have written asking them not to?

Hi - best thing to do here is register for the Mailing Preference Service (MPS) all UK marketing comapniues must cleasne cold mailing lists against the MPS or face fines from the Data Protection Commissioner. Their website is http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/mpsr/\n\nTheir site states "If you still receive unsolicited mailings despite your registration with the Mailing Preference Service you may like to take advantage of our complaint handling service.\n\nWe would need a full copy of the mailing in question including the envelope. The envelope is important as it often has a code on it which helps the mailer identify the source of your name and address.\n\nWe will write to the company concerned and ask for an explanation as to why the mailing was sent. If it is a breach of the British Codes of Advertising and Sales Promotion we pass the complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority for action."

Write a letter attn Kevin A. at the company using the company address. That should reach him.

They have to Prove you DID get the letters. NOT the other way round!  They should have been sent recorded "signed for" delivery!  Appeal!

(Im in the UK, but hopefully its too different in the USA)  \n\nYou have the right to ask who their 'governing body' is and they MUST tell you.\n\nThen tell the company that either they assist you with your problem in a reasonable manner or you will need to go to their governing body.\n\nI would write to the retail company (send it recorded delivery) as you will find that MOST companies request that any complaints be put in writing (this is what they do to make it that little bit harder and time consuming - its done on purpose!!!)  but either way if you email or write  put whatever the problem is to them, and then tell them what you want the outcome to be (dont mess around, if, for example you want a refund, tell them this in no uncertain terms, if you want a replacement, tell them this in no uncertain terms) and then give a deadline for them to respond  to your reqeust (normally 10 working days is acceptable)  (their response may not nescessarily mean RESOLVE - they may send you a letter of acknowledgement saying that they have recieved your letter and will respond to your letter with regard to your complaint within (i.e.) 10 working days etc etc) and then you simply wait for their response, but ensure that, if you do not get a response that you act, as they may be hoping that you 'cant be bothered to take it further' (believe it or not, some companies work on this basis - the consumer not being 'bothered' to uphold their rights')\n\nIf you do need to go further then the fact that you have given the retail company ample time and a chance to resolve the issue already will show as a credit on you to the 'governing body'.  \n\nBy the way - if this retail company offers you anything, for example a 'gift voucher' etc then if you accept this then you are accepting to put an end to the situation and there is no more you can do (WITHOUT PREJUDICE) - so if you want a FULL refund, or a REPLACEMENT then dont accept anything until AFTER you have got what you wanted!!!\n\nBut throughout it all and with EVERYONE you contact regarding this issue then be clear asto what EXACTLY you want and also, give reasonable time limits asto when you expect a response (otherwise they will push it as far they can!!)\n\nGOOD LUCK     -    I hope this helps, but please remember....... this is based on how it would work in the UK

The first issue is- did you tell them that you would contact them within a specific time frame? From your question it does not appear to be so. Hence I would recommend that you start off by reminding them that you had dropped off your card and would be very happy to do business with them or offer them special services/rates whenever they would require.\n\nThe idea is to remain top of mind by maintaining regular contact. However, I would advise that every contact should have some information which would be useful to the receiver. Or else your letter would be viewed as one more junk mail\n\nAll the best,\n\nTurab

You might want to send a certified letter to the company asking that question.

Ack, not more spam!  \n\nDo not send any commercial or promotional emails to people who did not specifically and verifiably request it, no matter great your product is and how much you think they need to hear about it.\n\nWhat is spam and why should you care?  \nhttp://www.netmanners.com/spam_spam_spam.html

THEY ALWAYS PULL THAT! Go to the main office and tell them you want it now......be sure and threaten them with further business. Example: I will switch to UPS if this happens again!

You probably read that in a chain email from a friend...\n\nSo the answer is more that likely "no", as people just write those things to get them spread as far as possible.\n\nMy advice is, if the information isn't refelected isn't on the company's website, don't forward it.

It wasn't a certified letter you had to sign for, was it?  If it was, you can't refuse it now.  If it was sent regular post you don't need to add any postage if you haven't opened it, just cross out your address with an arrow to the sender address and write "refused, return to sender"

Attach the prepaid envelope to something heavy like a brick or something and send it back. The company have to pay for the postage. They wont send you any more.

this is a place to give other people advice. if they wanted more information from you, they can always send you a private email. \n\njust tell them about the product only if you have experience with it. it probably seems like you have accidentally solicited spam and advertisement. now, you know not to do it again. \n\nI'd be angry too.

I havent heard of any company being assessed a penalty. Most get them out on time.\n\nNot required to mail until Jan 31.

don't use companies who advertise on the internet

If you are thinking of writing to then to complain, then save your stamp money.\nI have written to them on several occasions after I was unscrupulously ripped off by eBay themselves and have never received any response even after threatening them with legal action.

I recieved an unsolicited offer to handle payments made to the company.  Could not find anything on them.  Are they legitimate?
