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 at address but they just kept coming. Maybe if I start writing deceased 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'm still getting their fucking medication. Lazy ass boomers.
I just throw it away. It's been 7 years, so that's on the previous owners if it's something important.
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.
Oh well, I'm going to keep doing it anyway. If it was one year I'd handle it differently, but it's been 7.
