Mailing Preference Service (MPS) supports your right to choose the mail you want.

Many people welcome the information and special offers they receive by post. However, other people do not want to receive 'junk' mail. The Mailing Preference Service makes your choice known - so you get the mail you want and need.

Many people who register their preferences with the MPS have suffered a bereavement, and they simply want to stop future commercial mailings from being sent to the person who has died.

You can stop getting unwanted mail either by contacting each company directly and asking them not to call you or you can register with the Telephone Preference Service.

You can register with the TPS via the internet, by telephone or by letter (contact details above).

However, you need to know that registering with the MPS may prevent you from receiving information that you would like to have.

Registration will stop organisations that regard you as a customer from calling you again, unless you have previously told them that you have no objection to them calling you.

There are also preference services for telephone and fax.
