Last time I looked, I don't think there was a way to opt out of that. I could be wrong. The irony, of course, is that filling out a COA gets your new address on dozens of mailing lists… catch-22.

My daughter moved out almost a year ago & we are still getting bank statements, etc. The flow has slowed, but you would think it would have stopped by now. On a more detrimental note, my son moved out 3 years ago, but didn't fill out a form. I was told to mark it "Moved" as you say. This did work, unfortunately too well. His first name is the same as my husbands. His middle name is different, which I have indicated on his returned mail - but guess what? Now random pieces of our mail get returned. Like the phone bill, cable bill, etc. If I'm lucky, I find out a month later when I get a late notice. Eventually I had to change these bills to my name just to make sure they get delivered. So be careful with marking mail "moved" and relying on the USPS. A couple of words of caution on forwarding notices.
