Is it likely that Barclays are sending marketing material this frequently?

Adult has moved out, but I still get some mail. I don't open it, because, well I just don't.

Afaik he doesn't have debt, but Barclaycard are writing to him weekly. I send them on and he says it's all marketing material because he once expressed an interest in a credit card, but never took it further.

Would they really send marketing stuff so often. If I put it back in the postbox marked 'not at this address" will they stop?

When (very young, and he does appear to have matured in many ways now) he ignored the letters about unpaid road tolls I ended up with a baliff on my doorstep, and he had to pay a very big court fine. I'd like to believe he learned his lesson but there's also a niggle.

Barclaycard do send a lot of marketing mail, as I get it too, but not weekly. And it is all clearly marked on the back of the envelope with “contains marketing material” or something like that. So I would have a look at the back of one of the envelopes

I'd start returning it marked "Gone Away".
