i have been getting mail

that is addressed for Keith's father for the past few months, most of it i return to sender saying that no such person lives here but they are comming more and more latly I really do not want to call them and see why I am getting mail for him but it's getting to be "scary" in away... for those who do not know, my dh past and well his family is ummmm how can i put this nicely ... weird.... so what do you think i should do? I mean at the end his father was very nice to me after the church and he does LOVE krys ETS: that this maybe a way to reach out to see her but i really do not want to go there.

should i just

keep sending it back

go to his fathers job and ask him

send a email

call and tell them nicely to stop using my address for "junk" mail list

I really have not talked to my family about it because i know they would not make this a easier thing for me to do.... that is why i am asking you guys first.... THANKS

Re: i have been getting mail

I would continue to send it back marked 'no such person at this address' or if they are catalogs or anything that you can see a phone # call them & them.

Just a side not Janet.....I still get mail after all these years for Greg.

Re: i have been getting mail

i get mail for keith but this is addressed to his father.... i never got that before he past just after in the past few months.... i maybe reading into it to much but why would i all of a sudden get mail for his father

Re: i have been getting mail

That is strange. Can you notify the post office directly?

Re: i have been getting mail

I would talk to the post office about it. If they say they can't do anything, I would put in a forwarding address for FIL at his home address (even though I'd have to say I was him to do it)

Re: i have been getting mail

I don't know about the post office thing. I think they mail a letter to the new and old address saying someone changed their address, so it would tell the ILs that it was done. Then they would know anyway. I hope that makes sense.

Re: i have been getting mail

The next time you receive any mail for your FIL take it to the post office and tell them that no one by that names lives at your address. They will stop all mail from coming to your house with his name on it. I had to do this with my father. He had been gone for many years and, all of a sudden, I started getting mail from some bank for him. I tried returning it or calling them and telling them that he was dead to no avail. It just kept coming. Once I went to the post office, it stopped and I haven't received anything since.

Re: i have been getting mail

thanks guys for your help... i did notify my mailman today to send it back ... if that does not help i will start sending it directly to thier house.... i just hope this is not a way he is trying to get me to talk with him(keith's father) i just do not want to open that can of worms

Re: i have been getting mail

If you really don't want to contact your former FIL, I would just continue to return the mail.

I wouldn't read too much into it and if it is a ploy to get in touch it won't work.
