Ipsos Knowledge Panel, won't stop sending junk mail

Options
first time  receive this addressed to the occupier at m address, i returned it to them in their envelope telling them clearly, i am opted out of direct marketing etc. and not to send me their spam. today I received the third spam letter from them. I've told them clearly and in no uncertain terms I do not want their garbage and to stop sending it to my address. they are ignoring my instruction, or even sending more out of spite??
What department would I go about making a complaint to? surely this is harassment?

    Simply walk it to the bin.
    It's not addressed to you, merely the house.

    You could try marking it as "deceased" but frankly they're just as likely to ignore that as well.

    Then they just continue to send to the 'occuoier' for the next occupier.

    It is not addressed to a specific person.

    Thanks, I'll try that.

    It's just getting a bit much, that's 3 junk letters in the space of a month, that's fairly excessive.

    Pack the envelope full of this weeks junk mail and post it back to them.

    Received some marketing mail from a holiday company last week and it said to unsubscribe I can contact them
    and remove myself from their list.  The list I did not add myself to in the first place?  So nice of them.

    I hope they like their advertising leaflets for pizza and many other takeaway's and double glazing etc.  I added a note
    saying they could unsubscribe from junk mail if they contact me.

    I concur :D. We made an appointment to see HPB in Devon.  Just to turn up we were supposed to have a free gift, I can’t remember what it was as we didn’t get it.  We decided their model wasn’t what we wanted and told them.  We got swamped with literature until we moved to Devon  :D. It finally stopped
