It involves them continuing to send me their church newsletter after I sent a letter to them requesting them to stop and removing my mailing address from their mailing list, which was back in late March. I do not know how I got on their mailing list, all I know is I never requested their damn church newsletter. I want a secular freethought lawyer to aid me in this. I will not be ignored, there will be repercussions for them. I live in Georgia. Any recommendations? Anyone else experienced this before?
I experienced an identical problem involving the Catholic high school I graduated from in 1966. A former classmate, against my specific wishes, sent them my name and address so that I would receive their mailings. I contacted the school twice by mail and three times by telephone, telling them to remove my name from their mailing lists. I finally had to have my lawyer send them a letter, telling them to cease and desist or face legal action. On his advice, I followed this up with a registered letter to the school's principal, ordering my name removed from their mailing lists. That worked and I no longer get their bulletins or fund raising literature.
I still get mail, pretty much quarterly, from the Catholic high school I attended till graduation in 1975. I don't let it bother me any more...there used to be a little newsletter in it that would tell of alumni or their family members who had died and I did glance at that in case there was someone I felt I should send a card to. Since they stopped with the newsletters it's pretty much just begging for money. In the trash it goes. To me it's not really unlike the other junk mail that arrives in the mailbox. These same dolts have followed me all across the country but can't find my sister who has lived in the Chicago area since 1987 and still uses the same last name she graduated with. Another column in the now defunct newsletter was a list of people they couldn't find...I used to threaten her with exposing her location to the powers that be at the school.
