Thread: How do you get Directv to take you off their mailing list???

    Go to https://support.directv.com/contact. Click on “Chat with Us” and tell the chat representative that you no longer want to receive notices from DirecTV by U.S. mail or by e-mail. You WILL be removed from both contact lists.

They said I am not on their mailing list , it's a mass market mailing. Well, they said they would not longer mail the junk mailings to me , but that was 2 months ago and still getting the junk !!


    Anyone know how to get them to stop their junk mail ????????????

    If you want to vent on a person and not a computer visit your local Menards. They have a Directv rep there all the time in my area. Make a big ruckus, drawing a lot of attention from customers and they just might put you through to someone that will take you serious. They don't want someone making them look bad while they are trying to sell subscribers.

    One of my postal carriers calls it jobs mail. If it can keep the post office going, a little frustration is worth it.

    One of the big local industries is paper. When I complain about getting a 3 foot long receipt for a single item purchase, this "being a paper making city" is almost an automatic response.

    While true, you'll still get the bills whether you get the junk mail or not.

    Yes, but when you go out there and sort through the mail and you don't find bills, it just makes the day a little nicer. Oh...they'll come, but when they aren't there.....

    I do the same thing with every credit card solicitation. The pre-paid envelopes all go back in the mail and have for years, but I still get them. That's fine. If I have to go to the time and expense of shredding it, they get to pay for it.

    Most of them send to "or current occupant" so I don't know how much good that will do. They don't care who opens the junk mail, so long as someone does.

    As far as I am aware, there is nothing like a 'do not mail' registry like they have for the 'do not call' list and telemarketers.
    Not that anyone pays the slightest bit of attention to the "do not call" list. I've had telemarketers laugh at me when I said I was on the list. It's useless.

    Only if DirecTV is the one sending them, which they may not be. I get things from local resellers all the time and DirecTV has no control over that.

    I can dump 20 junk mails in the time one robo call takes. I had one wake up the household at 11:45 the other night. He said my computer was malfunctioning. I am ashamed to admit it, but I lost my cool and told him to do something anatomically impossible.

    I haven't seen a credit card app in the mail that has had anything remotely private in years. I don't even open them to check anymore. I bet 90% of our mail by volume, excluding packages, goes straight into the recycle bin. Even the gas bill that came today for example I throw away 2 envelopes and some kind of ad insert every month and keep the 1 sheet that is the actual bill. I don't think we can get that one electronically for some reason.

    I quit my AAA auto membership over ten years ago and still get physical mail from them with the whole, "last notice" thing.

    I never paid for Fine Woodworking Magazine (I think they comped me a subscription from the Minimax USA days, which died in 2010) and somehow, they followed me to a new address with magazines.
