My parents were out of town last holidays and i stopped by their place to feed their animals while they were out and ended up answering a phone call from one of these orginizations. After the "long-winded intro speil" i told them i wasn't interesed. The caller started to refer to me by my fathers name, and i began to argue the fact that i wasn't my father. Needless to say i hung up before it got anywhere.
Mid January he got a collection notice from the Orginization. Seems he had given to the charity before and they had his bank accn't info on hand and went ahead and charged a "donation" to it and he contested it via the bank and so they sent a collection notice.
Also after contesting everything and ending the collections my parents started recieving threatening phone calls from someone at this orginization.
Long story short, calls to the orginization were fruitless, and my parents had to file a complaint with Bellsouth and have the offending numbers blocked.
Since they went thru all of that it has turned me off on most of these charity places. Their tactics, even if it was isolated to one employee, seem shady at best. |
