“Current Resident” mail
Route-based — limited control
Sample data, illustrative — your numbers will vary. We typically see 70–90% reduction in eligible mail within 90 days. Some mail can’t be stopped (political, route-based, required notices).
Will you ever ask for my parent's SSN?
Never. Anything that requires an SSN — like the official permanent credit-offer opt-out — we walk you through completing yourself.
What if it doesn't work?
30 days from your first upload, money back on our work — the review, the filings, the reports. Some mail (political, route-based, required notices) can’t be stopped by anyone; we’re honest about that.
Why this matters
How your parent ended up on 40+ mailing lists.
Mailing lists for households over 65 are bought, sold, and rented every day. Once a parent is on them, the mail compounds — and most of it is engineered to look urgent or official.
The volume keeps growing
Charities trade donor lists with each other. One $20 gift can produce a year of mail from forty different organizations.
It looks like a real bill
"Final notice." "Pre-approved." "Award confirmation." Solicitations are designed to look like something you must open and respond to.
One wrong response cascades
A returned sweepstakes form. A pre-approved credit application. A check written to a fake charity. Each one feeds the next round.
Who we help
Built for the people doing the worrying.
Adult children & caregivers
You manage paperwork for an aging parent and worry about what they might respond to.
Estate & deceased relative
Mail addressed to a parent or spouse who has passed — emotional weight, plus fraud risk.
How it works
Four steps. We carry most of them.
You spend about 30 minutes total. We spend the hours of follow-up.
- 01
Tell us about the mailbox
5-minute setup. Your address, who lives there, and how you're authorized to act on the household's behalf.
- 02
Send us photos of the junk
Snap a photo of every piece of unwanted mail. Upload from your phone, or text them to us. We do not open or read the contents.
- 03
We do the work
We classify each piece, identify the sender, and submit eligible opt-out requests by email, web form, or postal mail. Every action is logged.
- 04
You see the progress
Reports at 30, 60, and 90 days. Submitted requests, confirmations, follow-ups, and an honest accounting of what can't be stopped.
What we handle
The mail we go after, every household.
- Charity & nonprofit solicitations
- Catalogs (Catalog Choice + direct senders)
- Pre-screened credit & insurance offers (we guide you through it)
- Sweepstakes, prize, and contest mail
- Mail addressed to a deceased relative
- Mail addressed to a prior resident
- Data-broker registries (DMA Choice and similar)
- Sender-specific suppression by email or postal mail
Honest expectations
What we don’t promise to stop.
No service can stop everything — and we won’t pretend otherwise. These categories we can’t reliably suppress:
- “Current Resident” or USPS route-based mail (EDDM)
- Political campaign and PAC mail
- Mail from companies your parent has an active account with
- Required legal, tax, or account notices
- Senders that ignore or delay opt-out requests
Reduce, not eliminate. Our reports show exactly what was submitted, what was confirmed, and what falls outside what any opt-out can stop.
Who runs this
Hi, I’m Brandon — the operator.
I’m a software engineer who built this because I was worried about my grandma being targeted by fraudsters — and the FTC’s free guide to stopping junk mail is great in theory but exhausting in practice. Caregivers and executors shouldn’t have to spend 20 hours figuring out which sender takes a postal letter, which takes a phone call, and which just ignores you entirely. I do every review and submission personally for now — when you sign up, you’re talking to me, not a contractor.

Honest comparison
You can do it yourself. Most don’t.
Every opt-out we file is one a family member could file too. The cost is in the hours, not the steps.

Our promise
30-day satisfaction guarantee. Or your money back.
You have 30 days from your first upload. Don’t love how we’re working? Email us and we refund the full $399. No paperwork, no hoops, no “why are you leaving” survey.
We can’t guarantee every piece of junk mail stops — no honest service can, because new senders constantly add fresh lists. The guarantee is on our work: the review, the filings, the reports.
Common questions
The questions caregivers actually ask.
Can’t I just do this myself for free?
Most don’t, because between identifying every sender, finding the right opt-out channel for each one, and chasing 30-day follow-ups when senders ignore you, a single household easily eats 15–30 hours over 90 days. We do those hours so you don’t. Yes, every step is one you could do — that’s exactly the problem.
Doesn’t AARP or DMAchoice already handle this?
DMAchoice and the official credit-offer registry cover a few channels. They don’t cover the 30 individual charities, catalogs, and sweepstakes that send your parent mail every week. Each of those needs an individual request — that’s most of our work.
Will you ever ask for my parent’s SSN?
Never. Anything that requires an SSN — like the official OptOutPrescreen.com permanent opt-out — we walk you through completing yourself. We will not collect, store, or transmit a Social Security Number under any circumstance.
What about my parent’s bank or medical mail?
We don’t touch financial or medical accounts. Marketing mail only. Account statements, EOBs, tax forms, and required notices stay between your parent and the institution.
How long until we see results?
Most senders take 30-90 days to remove a name from the next print run. Some confirm in a week; some take three months. Our 30/60/90-day reports show exactly where each request stands.
What about mail to a parent who has passed away?
Common case. We have a specific deceased-relative workflow with the right language for senders. We’ll talk through who in the family has authority to act before we submit anything.
Is the photo of my parent’s mail safe?
Mail-piece photos are stored in a private encrypted bucket. Only you and the operator can see them. You can request full deletion at any time — and after the program ends, photos are deleted automatically after 180 days.
Can you guarantee the mail will stop?
No, and any service that says yes is lying. Some categories — political mail, USPS route-based mail, “Current Resident” ads — can’t be stopped by any opt-out. We’re honest about what falls in that bucket and we focus on what doesn’t.
Get started
Ready for a quieter mailbox?
Tell us a little about the household. We’ll reply within one business day with next steps. If you’d rather hop on a free 15-minute call first, we’re happy to — but it’s optional. Most households start with email.
- No SSN, ever — no exceptions
- We don't open or read mail contents
- Full data deletion on request
- One operator handles your household
If a parent or relative has passed away —
The SSA Death Master File can take up to 60 days to update. Until then, every solicitation that arrives is an identity-theft vector. The faster we start, the smaller that window.
