Having to collect mail with underpaid postage; it is from a Charity.

Thinkings and poems 1 Minute

On Monday I got a card through the door saying someone had underpaid postage so their letter was not delivered.I  managed to get down to the sorting office today.It was from Friends of the Earth.So I refused to pay £1.54 to take it.

I just rang FoE and they said it was a letter asking me to increase my monthly donation.I decided to cancel my donation as it’s the only way to stop this recurring.I  am weeding out a few of these donations as I will probably have less money in the future or even this month!

I shall continue ones like Medecin sans Frontiers

Do not give money to an appeal asking you to text a certain number because when I did this they phoned and demanded a monthly amount.The man was extremely skilful.This is really a serious problem for people especially older ones.

I have also got cunning schemes from supposed insurance companies on my mobile now…

  2. I agree this is a very serious problem…..one that at last is getting some press. I received a letter from Battersea Dogs Home who I give e small donation to every year, apologising if they have ever been a hindrance, which I thought was good.
    I agree with you…..it’s time to be very fussy…Janet. xxx
