I am in USA-California. A person (who does not live at my family's house) has been using the address for auto insurance. This has been happening for years and I have done the "return to sender." But a few months back, a large envelope came addressed to this person from a different auto insurance provider (GEICO). The large envelope is obviously a welcome packet. I am concerned that someone who does not live here is using my family's home address for their auto insurance. I am concerned it will affect my family's auto insurance rates. I reported this to the Department of Insurance of California for insurance fraud. Not much has come of the complaint but it is recorded. Can this affect our auto insurance? Any recommendations of what else I can do to report this person?

Return every piece of mail from every insurer that sends one marked “not at this address”. You’re right to be concerned.
Go to a geico office in person and let them know? They can report it in LexisNexis that’ll get the person audited
If you keep returning the mail, eventually they will decide to cancel. Maybe that’s why they had to change to GEICO. Or maybe you should write a letter every time they change insurers if you want the cancellation to happen quicker. Hopefully they give this grift up sooner rather than later.
