A children’s magazine company did this to my children after their grandparents gifted them a subscription. I am currently left to clean up the mess. I need to know if there is any legal recourse.

I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not it was legal to mail out mailing lists for one dollar to make money? I heard that it was just as long as you do not claim to be someone you are not. Also as long as you request to be put on a mailing list so that you are not collecting and recieving money for nothing?

I have heard that yes this is legal through regular mail. I have also heard that no it isn’t if you use the internet to do this.
Which is true.

Only documented facts please.

Is there a site that I can go to in order to see if my children’s names our on a mailing list? I would really appreciate anyone’s help.

I get SO much junk mail! I really dont use the coupons (I only shop at 2 grocery stores and I just pick up their circular, and I call ahead to restaurants for their specials)
I want to save these companies money on their postage, and I **** knowing all the paper that is wasted on this thing. For now, I just recycle it, but it is REALLY getting cold here, and I dread making the walk to my apartment complex recycling bin in below freezing temperatures.
It’s just so inconvenient. Can anyone tell me where to go to remove myself from these lists for free? Like a Do-Not-Junk-Mail registry?
