The envelopes are debit when RM receive them after being posted, if the address differs from that of the account holder it will be charged to the receiver the full postage plus handling.0

As said, you can't benefit from the postage, but I do try to use enevlopes that are sent to me. Just stick a label on them.0

Hi
If you get junk mail with pre-paid envelopes in, i.e. financial offers, loans, credit cards etc then post everything back to the sender in the pre-paid envelope and let them deal with the junk mail.0 -
Good advice, I send all of mine back via this method..

Even better, send it back to someone else; ie:- MBNA to Capital One, Capital One to Morgan Stanley. Just make sure that you have removed anything with your name and address on it !0 -

Now that is a great twist
I suppose registering with the mail preference service would be the right thing to do0 -
I had a letter last week saying that I should reply in the pre-paid envelope supplied but there wasn't one so I wrote FREEPOST on the envelope

I remember reading that you can use the pre-paid envelopes you get from your bank etc, all you do is just stick a label over the address and write in a different address.

I know loads of people do this, but I believe it is actually fraud and they don't have to deliver it as the license number applies to the return address.
Use the envelope itself by all means, but I would stick a stamp on it to be safe!I'm so sexy it's a wonder my underpants don't explode.0
