There is no way to do it on this site apart from turning off all notifications. The software they use is capable of doing it with an addon which I'm guessing is not installed.

I can choose what notifications I get here:

Sorry thats what I meant.

"Notify me when people comment on discussions I've participated in."

Untick that and save.

Is there any chance this thread could be closed? 

I don't think we're obliged to read threads we've lost interest in.

This site does not appear to allow someone to unsubscribe from thread notifications for things they are no longer interested in - and the OP also seems to have lost interest. 

Do you not unclick the bookmark icon top right to unsubscribe, in the same way you click it to receive the alerts?

I've done this on posts and I've stopped getting notifications on email

I was referring to notifications on the site, email is already turned off... currently if you participate in a thread you're alerted to new replies (which I'm admittedly adding to) with no ability to remove the notifications.

The bookmark button has never been clicked for this

Oh I see. 

I don't get those notifications/alerts only the ones I've bookmarked

Threaten to hold his food coupons hostage until he signs up for RM redirection.  They clearly mean a lot to him...more than a CCJ risk!

I suspect that this individual is having difficulty letting go.  I would:
*Next time he comes round for his post have a letter stating that anything received after X Date will be returned to sender.  

*Follow through, and, when he comes back, refer him to the letter.

*Rinse and repeat.  Keep a record of how many items you return and how many times he pops round.

*If needed, report to the local police.

Ultimately, you need to be very forceful with him.  He no longer lives at the address, you do.  The longer it drags on for the worse it will be.

He may find a new excuse for his visits by claiming he wants to see that part of the garden where his late lamented dog is buried!

Or he wishes to retrieve his "bag for life"!

Why on earth are you still entertaining this man? People only take advantage if you allow them to. Stop allowing him. Stop responding to his texts and calls. Stop answering the door. If he persists report him for harassment. Job done. Sorry OP but you need to stop pandering to him and faffing about.

I think (hope) that is what op is doing. I'm sure we'll get an update soon from @Josiea explaining how the next contact with the previous owner has gone.

Remember they are young, early 20s, and it's their first house.

Hopefully they have come on here, gained advice and the situation will improve.

I think you have been very kind in helping him, but I think it's now time for him to move on.
I'd just bin everything that comes and if he visits tell him nothings came here for you, and you want your privacy now so please don't visit or call again, as if he does the police will be involved, if he argues, ask him to leave, if he continues to argue phone the police there and then and report him for harassment.

You've done more than enough to help him. I would simply text him and tell him to stop coming round to your house to collect mail or for any other matter with immediate effect. Tell him that he needs to arrange a re-direction until he has contacted all companies involved and that from now on any mail that arrives for him will be returned to the sender. Tell him to also not text or call either of you anymore. It may just be best to also tell him he is borderline harassment and that you will notify the police if he ever calls, texts or visits your property again. That should do it. Maybe consider CCTV too, just in case, or a ring doorbell
