How does one get off the mailing list of all the charities?

Question

I have recently retired and the income now is far less than desireable. The charities I used to give to I no longer am able to. BUT they must have given my name and address to all the others. I am getting hit by almost every charity there is and I just can't do it any longer.

Answer 1

Take the time to write them all, and tell them to please stop sending you things. As you can no longer afford to donate anymore. If they understand, they will stop.

Answer 2

Add yourself to the National Do Not Call list.  It takes 30 days to eventually end all calls,  but it's worth it.  My phone barely rings anymore. If they do call.. you can report them. Try their website.  I got the listing on my local news channel's website...  myfoxdetroit.com...  If you decide to add yourself to the list... in the meantime,  answer the calls and tell them to take you off the list.  Good luck!  Enjoy your retirement!!!  :0)
