I have [e-mail] and it surprises me how many other people have my same name. I get so much unintended mail, usually to firstname.lastname at gmail. I have found that in a lot of cases they have forgotten a middle initial. I usually let it go as spam unless it looks important like a credit card. What frustrates me is that these companies will not interface with me at all, sometimes not even leaving a note on the account.

I understand from the security side why they wont, but I wish there was something they could do. I could easily log in and change a password then cancel the account, but I figure there's probably some legal trouble if I did that.

I get credit card stuff and credit report stuff from bozos with similar nanes to me. I used to try to inform them, they won't let me. The worst are Experian, who won't let me interact with them at all, because I can't prove I'm the person or people who've been mistakenly using my email address.

You'd think that they would be willing to interact with someone sending emails from the same address they're spamming!
