Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 That's another good idea. For the company who accepted the change of my address without my permission, I first gave them H--- for doing so and then in writing and verbally told them they are never to change my address without a notarized written notice from either me (or my husband who is joint owner), my attorney (which would mean I was deceased) or my heirs who would have a proper authorization in writing for that. I also told them I " plan not to move anywhere until the day I am removed in a box (ie, casket) so not to worry about receiving a change of address from me. I got a letter of apology from them and I am sure they will remember me. > > I have a suggestion for all of you.
