How to stop credit card mail?

My dad passed away 1 year ago, but I still receive many letters at his name with credit card advertisement. How can I stop that?

For those that still make it to the mailbox, send it back to sender.

This. Or, if you have an outgoing mailbox, put it there (in communities where there is a common area for mailboxes, there is a separate outgoing mailbox). Or just put "Refused/Return to Sender" on the envelope if you have a non-locking mailbox.  Or put up the flag if you still use one of those.

Re: How to stop credit card mail?

Just curious, if I already opted out (years ago), why am I still getting mail from places like lendingclub, prosper, etc.?
