While I was out on Saturday morning a charity fundraiser for Cancer Research came to the door and was very persistent so that my OH ended up signing away a monthly sum which he didn't really want to do but he couldn't work out how to deal with the situation. Luckily he was sufficiently aware of what he'd done he could let me know and gave me the forms.
We had a long discussion about how he might deal with this if it happened again but neither he nor I could be sure it would work.
I rang Cancer Research who took his name off their list and gave me the number of Home Fundraising who they subcontract to do the work. I phoned them and explained the situation and asked how this could be avoided in future and they said they could remove our address from the list of places to visit. I know there are probably other similar firms which I will chase down but at least it's a start.
If anyone else wants to contact them to get their addresses off the list, the number is
0800 612 2454
