44-6555. Solicitation disclosure requirements; written confirmation

D. During the solicitation, whether by telephone or otherwise, independent solicitors shall:

1. Identify themselves as for profit solicitors who are soliciting on behalf of a charitable organization or a contracted fund raiser.

2. Disclose the legal name of the charitable organization or contracted fund raiser on whose behalf the independent solicitor is making the solicitation.

3. Disclose the independent solicitor's true legal name.

4. State that the purpose of the solicitation is to raise charitable funds.

If they do not disclose their true legal name their organization gets shut down!  If they do disclose their true legal name and are that annoying...

They are very nice people they called and I asked to be removed and the young man said they were unable to and I had to call their office I said no so he asked if I wanted to speak to a manager they came on were prompt and curteous and I have not gotten a call since then

A most annoying organization -- upward foundation, I'll rename them the "downward destructive idiots"
You can request not calls 100 times, get just excuses.  Uncooperative, annoying, downright crappy.  

Most uncooperative group ever.

They call and hang up - so annoying! I have no idea who they are -  I'm on the do not call list!  UUGH!

Called & left no message.  Tried to return call twice & first time it rang 4 times & went dead; 2nd time it rang twice & went dead

ok this number keeps comming up on my caller ID Then when my machine picks up they hang up.
I try calling it back and it always says this number is no longer in service, even tho they called me
1 minute earlier. I have gotten calls from this  number maybe 50 times in the last year. the caller ID says the name is value village t ???????

I also got a call. I say we talk to them and keep them on the line for as long as possible. Ask them to tell you about the history of their company. Chances are that you will stump the sales rep. who has a script and knows nothing about their company history. Proceed to scold them for their lack of knowledge. Just keep talking to them and annoy them back. It will at least drop their call volume down, and less people will be contacted for that day. I try to sell them my services when they call me.

called. left no message.  They've called from three different numbers on various days recently.

This company calls from many different numbers and will not take you off their list.  There must be some way to stop this.  I'm writing my congressman.

They keep calling and will NOT remove my number. They said I have to call another number which I refuse to do.  I have call rejected their number many times and they still keep calling.  They call at least everyday once.

I always tell this company to stop calling.  They say they cannot remove name/number from their list, that you have to call another number and "request".  I even did this.  They do not stop.  They called from several numbers.  No, you cannot use call reject.

This is one of the most annoying charities in USA. Upward Foundation. They will call 200 times a year. Computer-dialed so you have to say Hello 3 times before a human comes online. They will not remove my name from their list. They say that it is not possible. Then they call back in 1 hour. I bought Call Rejection from my phone company but Upward has a bank of phone lines and can call you from 20 different numbers. The Call Rejection only lets me block 29 numbers.
