How do I stop her mail?

[Bertieb]

My husband has been divorced three years and we have been married a year and a half. We still get mail addressed to his ex wife, and we have moved into a new house in the last two months and now the mail has her name and our new address! How can I stop this? The only one that really matters is a bill from a collection agency. Is there some way to stop her junk mail from updating to our address??

Return to sender address unknown except for the important bills which you could send to her new address or file a change of address on her.

I'd also stop and question myself about why this was bothering me so much.

I would send a certified letter to the collection agency and include her address if you have it. Or there's always just writing on the envelope "returned" and stuffing it back in the box.

can you tell the post office to stop it?

Return to sender. You can speak with you mail person and tell them she is not part of the family. But she needs to put in a change of address form.

 I would NOT send a certified letter to a collection agency and include her address. This advice is drama queen central. Don't get involved in nonsense. Just scroll return to sender across the envelope and be done.

You can also write refused on it. I have been divorced for 10 yrs now and still get mail for my ex occasionally. I just write refused and give it right back to the post person

We get mail for the people who used to live in our house. I put a post it on the inside of the door on the mailbox that said my last name, my boyfriend's last name, and my dd's last name, and we haven't gotten any mail that's not ours since then.

I don't believe op said anything about it bothering her, just asked how to stop it and said just wanted to know how to stop the collection letters cause the rest wasn't as important. Making assumptions much?

Op, my dh has divorced for about 3 yrs now and we've been married since dec '11 and have gotten mail at our address where she has never lived. We just gave it to her when we pick up the kids, but if we got it a second or third time after that and she didn't do anything about changing it we opened it and filled out the change of address on it if it was a bill and sent that in for her. Lol

Yes, it's not that it is an issue, just wondering how to change it or do we get this stuff the rest of our lives. I don't gety ex husbands mail and we have been divorced about the same amount of time, not sure why hers follows and his doesn't. I will start returning to sender maybe. Thank you!

When you did the change of address to the new house, you most likely chose ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD or whatever the choice is, so hers tagged along because there was never a change of address from the old house to her new one.  You can fill out a change of address for her, using your current address as her "old" address and put her current address as the new address.  The only thing is I think it requires a signature.  She's probably trying to avoid the ones from any collection agency though...  LOL
