There was a huge discussion on this very same topic in the AOL forum over the past several days. Of course the idiot troll who controls that forum and has for the past several years never believes anything anyone posts in there but you are correct; he would state you are wrong because he states he is always right; anyway, more and more people are seeking P.O. Boxes due to mailbox theft by identity thieves. However, most people that open the P.O. Boxes don't have credit card fraud or avoiding bill paying on their mind as purposes in trying to avoid the creditor(s). It's just a protection for them to avoid identity theft or nosey neighbors/family members getting their mail, or used for business.


: More and more credit card companies are rejecting PO Box addresses as mailing addresses of applicants, and want them to list their physical address instead. I suppose this is to be able to find you if you default on them. They, credit card companies apparently, obviously have never heard of mail box theft and the possible ID theft problems associated with it. A way around this would be to open a box at a UPS, Mailboxes, ETC, store. Give the credit card co. the physical address of that store without mentioning the name UPS or Mailboxes ETC. Assume the store is on 500 Main Street, and you list your address as 500 Main Street # 250. The credit card co. will think that 500 Main Street is an apartment complex and that #250 is your apartment #. When you open that box you have to reveal your actual address to the store, but the store only has to reveal your actual address to law enforcement, but not to credit card companies
