    No I have the same thing happen to me. I moved into a new house about 2 and 1/2 years ago and I still receive mail from a previous owner and not even the last owner like four owners ago. I was writing return to sender, not an address but they just kept coming. Maybe if I start writing to cease they’ll get the hints to stop sending them and then if that messes things up for the person that’s supposed to be getting the mail, they should have had their address change when they moved so it’s their responsibility.

      I’ve been living in my house for 26 years and we still occasionally get mail for previous residents.

        I believe in the States it’s considered a federal crime to throw someone else’s mail away. It’s probably a crime in other countries too.
