I live in a converted Victorian house split into four flats. We got four door bells but only one letterbox. The problem is that we get bunches of leaflets from companies such as Talk Talk. Often we get more than four leaflets. Recently we received seven leaflets from the Green Party.

I have tried to contact the senders. The Green Party responded and apologised but it doesn't seem possible to contact companies such as Talk Talk. Is there anything we can do to stop the junk mail deluge?

If I give friends a printed copy of the royal mail opt-out form, will it be enough for them to opt out? Do they need to have emailed in advance with their address (as I did to get the form in an email)?

We are a block management company and we get horrnedous amounts of junk mail which residents simply leave in the communal areas. This causes a fire and health and safety. Do you have any recommendations to aid us stopping this?

We have registered twice with Royal Mail to stop their junk mail being posted through our door. What legal rights can we put in place with their insistence to ignore this?

I completed Royal Mail's opt-out form about 2 months ago but it has made no difference. Is it possible that I am not registered? Will I receive confirmation that my request to stop junk mail has been actioned?

Do you know how to stop charity bags and menu's for takeaways being posted through the letterbox please?

I have several No Junk Mail signs (hand-written and ready-made) on my letter box, and while the amount of junk has reduced, I still get tons of takeaway menus and flyers from local business. How do I find out who's distributing them? I don't mean the guys actually delivering them because they usually don't even speak English, but the companies who employ them. I want them to train their staff to respect people's wishes.

Does it really take six weeks before a registration with Royal Mail's opt-out becomes active? And, if so, does that mean I need to re-register after 2 years plus six weeks?
