Not totally true...

A loan? Really? When will it be paid back?

Rent a postal address at a letter drop store for important mail, and just do not bother with your assigned box at the postal station. Maybe you can trust the letter drop renter to censor your mail to your specifications.

Censor? That might work if there were only three boxes to fill.

After 1 year the forwarding by USPS stops so no matter who it is addressed to you get it. I get mail from a neighbor who now resides in my first home AND I haven’t lived there for over 7 years and yes I did contact everyone when I moved out.
