The methods are my main cause for complaint.<br />I did, by the way, get an email reply from the Chief Executive of the organisation which acts as an agent for The Pony Sanctuary.<br />They gave me a long rambling explanation as to why their Dec mail shot had reached me in May, but failed to explain why I had two copies of the Dec one along with 2 dated May, all on the same day.<br />Having assured me that they valued my years of donations they then made everything even worse by addressing the email to Mr Barnes.<br />My response was "my decision stands"!Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-53309310204255134042013-05-15T07:03:08.674+01:002013-05-15T07:03:08.674+01:00They really don't get it do they?

David has now cancelled several of his direct debits after some very insistent calls.....<br />Every charity is strapped for cash right now but their methods are having the opposite effect ! Which is a great shame for those in need.

And of that 99%, 95% is from organizations wanting money, wanting me to use their credit card, wanting to sell me life insurance (at my age?), wanting Don to re-subscribe to DirecTV (he's been dead over 3 1/2 years and one of their representatives was told this in 2010). It is sad about the charity you were giving to though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-36271455130174949112013-05-11T23:04:39.261+01:002013-05-11T23:04:39.261+01:00Thanks for the information Colin.

I have read the whole thing, including all the comments.<br />Sounds quite a can of worms.<br />I don't regard myself as particularly gullible but must say I hadn't suspected half of what is suggested there.<br />How sad that a genuine charity may be deprived of revenue because they have handed over the running to an agency.<br />Sadly this just reinforces my decision to stop sending them money.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-61297301055150617192013-05-11T20:39:34.837+01:002013-05-11T20:39:34.837+01:00See http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/investigations/2010/...See http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/investigations/2010/08/chris-stoddard-and-those-chari.html but read 2 of the comments in particular which suggests that SWEP is but has been impersonated (my interpretation).
