Hi All
Posting here since this is a community that likes solving problems or (even better) may know of a solution.
I am based in the US (just moved here), and I wonder if there is service (or if I am missing something) that will improve how I currently interact with companies? For example, when I moved apartments, I needed to make contact with all credit card companies, my gas and power, bank (you get the picture) to update my address. If I am lucky, it involves me logging into dozens of sites to update things. If I am unlucky, I need to call them up. In addition, my mail box is constantly filled with special offers and discounts that I don't ask for (some which is actually useful, most is not).
So... hoping someone can point me to a solution where I can manage all this (if it even exists). If it doesn't exist, is someone building something?

Email or physical mail? For email, every time you get receive bullshit, spend a minute to try and unsubscribe. I recommend not using the link and instead logging into the website and unsubscribing from all their mailing lists, where as the unsubscribe link would usually only unsubscribe you from one of their mailing lists.
For physical mail if it's a company you have an account with I guess you could do the same and see if there's a way to opt-out (I imagine they would want to save costs and not spend money mailing out physical spam to someone that isn't interested). For the rest sadly there isn't much to do, but if any spam arrives with prepaid envelopes just put their garbage in there and send it back to them, just to waste some of their money.
