Remote Control Mail is very useful for Americans who now live abroad but still receive mail here. For my tenure abroad I did not have this option. I would have absolutely taken advantage of this if I had known about it.

In addition this service is convenient for any person, or business that is constantly moving. This simplifies the whole changing addresses situation.

I use Mail Boxes Etc. for this type of service. They don’t scan the mail, but they throw away junk mail and forward it wherever you are. I had my mail forwarded to one of the European countries on a monthly basis. I am back in the U.S., but have decided to keep my Mail Boxes Etc. address, as it’s so convinient (no need to update a long list of companies and services with my new address every time I move).

Nica idea, but simply seems to be a remake of services like http://www.paper2mail.de over there in europe – nevertheless I´d give them a chance

I’m a longtime Paytrust user (8 years) and after Intuit bought it I was hopeful that it would get even better. That never happened. Since the buyout the copyright year on the sites footer still reads 2005! Thats scary to me! I’m not sure if the big credit companies are playing hard ball with Paytrust but some won’t send my bill to them anymore, same with my insurance provider. Over the years services like these seemed good but missing bills and getting bills late has me dropping the idea of using a service that had such potential in streamlining the mundane things of life. RemoteControlMail will face the same hurdles.

I think that it is important to realise that Financial Information is considered the most taboo subject in America. And, paranoia surrounds it.

At least in this company, they are giving disabled vets, with security clearances, jobs, and I would feel a lot more comfortable with them seeing my mail, than people who already have “access” to my / our personal financial information (credit card and credit-reporting companies, banks, creditors,.landlords, tax “preparers” [not CPAs or Tax Attorneys] and all of their staffs etc.)

There are many people who could benefit from this service — those who travel; sight-impaired people who do not want to have to depend on lowly-paid “helpers” when no family is close-by or no family at all; mentally-impaired people – same deal etc.

I hope that the company thrives for those who need it.

Best to all — Em

I also agree with you that I don’t like knowing that someone else has seen my mail.

IMHO this would be great for nomadic knowledge worker types like myself – I was moving annually for a while, and changing a million and one addresses each time was a PITA. Having one address that stays constant wherever you happen to live is a big selling feature for me.
