Wish I had found this earlier. I did it the hard way, by writing on the return cards with a black marking pen, asking not to receive any more. It took a few times, but I don't get mail from credit card companies anymore, and it has decreased. Good luck. Well, this is from AARP, but there are some good ideas here.

If they do not comply, send a copy of that letter asking to be removed, and a copy of the letter to the better business bureau. Here is what I did for my unwanted mail, I attached a second mailbox to my house underneath my first. I wrote on the top mailbox (mail addressed to "stated my name"). The second mailbox underneath, I had cut out the bottom portion. This one I labeled (mail addressed to "resident residing at"). Underneath the mailbox with the hole, I put the trash receptacle I keep on my porch. All junk mail quickly falls into that can, and the mailman got a good chuckle. You can just throw this junk away then and there, as you get the mail. If it is really a big deal, then send a copy of the mailing back, and ask to be removed.
