What Mailing Preference Service can expose about you
- Name
- Postal address (as a marketing target)
Step-by-step removal
- Open mpsonline.org.uk and register your name and address.
- This suppresses you from most UK direct-mail lists.
- Allow a few weeks for mail to taper off.

Free register that stops most UK direct mail.
Keeping it removed
Most people-search sites keep ingesting fresh public records, so a removed listing can reappear months later under a new URL. The reliable fix is cutting off the sources where you can (for UK users, start with the open electoral register) and re-checking periodically.
