I called here:45 Montreal RoadOttawa, ON K1L 6E8Phone: (613) 521-1902Fax: (613) 521-3667and they took my number off the list. This is precisely why you should never give charities personal information.

I've had the same problem with this number calling me repeatedly, over & over again, and never leaving a message.  The reason there's nobody on the line when you pick up is because they're using an automated dialing machine.  It dials 9-10 numbers all at once and the first person who picks up gets connected to a live person.  The other 8 or 9 people who picked up a little later only get dead air on the line.  If they didn't reach you the firs time, they'll just keep calling & calling & calling until you actually are the first person to pick up your phone.

It's annoying and disturbs my peace & quiet a great deal, not to mention that it interrupts my work, as I work from home.  I've asked them repeatedly NOT to call here anymore, as I donate my used clothing somewhere else, but they STILL won't stop.  So don't be fooled, if you request to be taken off the list, all that does is confirm to them that your line is active, so they'll just keep calling you.

Maybe the solution is to tell them that yes, you do have clothing to donate and then when they come to the door, don't answer it.  Maybe if they make a trip out to your place for nothing, that's the only way they'll learn their lesson.

I will NEVER, NEVER donate anything to the Diabetes Association because of this annoying practice of theirs, and I've been telling all of my friends to do the same.

Mr. Smith
Your reply was from Feb 2008....why is this still happening. I've requested by email and phone msgs to have my number removed from your calling list but still they call. WHY. This is a bad way of running your business. Trust me when I have clothes to donate I would probably give it to a company that doesn't peeve me off after several attempts to have it stopped. You may want to reconsider your work ethics.
