credit card junk mail to old address, should i worry?

longwalks1

I moved house last week and redirected my post. already getting 'junk' credit card application forms/packs from low credit companies (I'm a good earner and never needed a basic credit card) so usually just tear them up, should i let these companies know i've moved, so at least I can dispose of their junk, knowing it hasnt been opened and possibly applied for by someone else?

Or just ignore it and let it be binned?

Definitely let them know if you want to continue receiving their junk mail

You arent going to be able to contact every company in the world that has bought your details. All the new occupier is going to get from this junk mail is your name and address, the later they certainly know anyway as they live there and they are going to learn the former anyway from some other junk mail that arrives.

Really however you should be setting up a mail redirection so that you get this and every other thing through to your new address
