A close family member sent me a gift through this company who promptly used my mailing information to create an unauthorized account. They began sending me MULTIPLE mailer catalogs which overstuffed my mailbox, rendering the lid unable to close, crushing important mail documents and exposing them to the elements wherein many pieces were ruined in the rain. Further, I maintain consistent registration with the DMAChoice registry and my account is active through December of 2028. The Lakeside Collection ignored this "Do Not Mail" status and sent unsolicited mailers, anyway. Worse yet, the gift was from a family member under a family name I do not use (or disclose) to ANYone, let alone create any accounts under this name. It is NOT my legal name, and I cannot provide current proof of identity therefor. I attempted to go to their website to "opt-out" of a mailing list for which I never opted in. The only way to do so would be to create a full-blown account with their company, providing even more information, which I do not intend for them to have, and then change my mailer preferences. The creation of that account also requires agreement to receive additional marketing to all phone, email, and USPS contact channels. Suffice to say, I did NOT create an account. Their "chat" also requires verification of an email I do not wish to provide. Next, I called their customer service line (not toll-free) and provided the Mailing ID No. on the back of each catalog received, verified the mailing address, verified my last name, and informed them the first name is a "nickname" that I DO NOT GO BY, but the representative insisted on calling me that on several occasions, regardless. She then insisted I must disclose an email address and phone number for "verification purposes" despite the fact that none was ever provided, and I only receive their mailers as a gift recipient. She CATEGORICALLY REFUSED to cease all harassment without disclosure of private information (phone and email), which could not be verified, as it was never provided in the first place. Further, their website states that provision of email and phone number constitutes approval to receive their marketing! She placed me on hold for more than 30 minutes waiting for a "supervisor" that never came on the line. So far, I have spent more than 90 unpaid minutes between websites, phone calls, and other logistics management simply attempting to stop mailers I never authorized and cancel an account that was created in my identity without my permission. They verified ALL AVAILABLE information, and still refused to cancel the mailers. I am now filing complaints and reports with all available entities, and will return every piece of mail received "Refused -- RTS." It is illegal to continue harassing someone through email when they have unsubscribed and will get you in big trouble with ICANN. How is it legal to harass someone through the federally governed United States Postal System, waste tangible resources, demand disclosure of more private and personally sensitive information, and occupy equipment dedicated to approved purposes, when they have blatantly requested cessation?
