I pay to have a telephone due to necessity, I should be able to expect a lack of invasion. I find it troubling that despite requests to stop calling, this and most other solicitors can't/won't/don't.  Furthermore, there is really no way to stop them.  The Do Not Call law has no teeth that can really be enforced and the idea that anyone calling themselves a charity can ignore the rule sucks.  There's no such thing as opt-in, opt-out, it's just the fact that they (and you) seem to think it is ok to interrupt my non-working peace and quiet.  Additionally, now I get to pay for a cell phone that they're allowed to call at their leisure, again with no opt-in, opt-out or DNC list.

As someone in the know, who doesn't work for Duncan, I can assure you that 1) police/fire deaths are well compensated for 2) these charities are sucking a huge percentage off the top and 3) YOU are paying so they can rip you off on top of it all.
