I recieved a telephone call the other day and the lady on the phone instantly 'Thanked' me for my generous donation which I agreed to last year, I had apparently agreed to have my contact details on an anti bullying and child protection publication that was to be sent out to schools and nurseries.
The price was £220 +
I explained that I never agreed to this and although it was probably a very good cause, My prefered charity is a local one raising cash for a hight dependancy unit for the childrens ward, I do quite a few sponsored events to raise cash and certain jobs gained through the charity I donate a percentage.
At this she got real arsey and told me the publications were back from the printers with my details on there was no way of going back, However she'd cut the price I have to pay.........No I said, I didn't recall the conversation and wouldn't have agreed to it. She told me that she had on her computer that in May last year the original conversation took place and I had definatley agreed to this, using my logo, She said that details were sent to me in the post at the address I live at now.
Only thing was that I didn't live at this address last May and only registered the business in November last year and have only had my logo for a few months!!!!!!!
At this she tells me she'll speak to her boss and sort something out...... Course she will
Anyone else had this type of afair or is it just me
I know that it's for a good cause but hell you can't just expect people to agree to giving away over £200, the advert size was ridiculous as well, something like 3x1 inch round the edge of the inside page
