contains many comeons most of us receive mail we do not want such as adver tising leaflets magazine sub scription forms and record or book club offers sending this kind of mail is a perfectly leg itimate way of doing business and it isstrictly up to us whe ther we want to read it or not but what do you do if you rec eive a credit card you never asked fur a cod parcel you ne ver ordcird or a package n christmas cards you did not request unsolicite mail is an noying and in some cases it ls illegal here arc some bus iness mailing practices which you should know about record and book clubs the common complaint here i getting records or books that were not wanted in the case of those advertising a free trial or free offer the first shipment contains a message saying in effect if you dont want more send a card saying so if you would like more do noth ing often the recipient docs not read or understand these conditions and fails to return the card in some cases when the consumer has cancelled hi membership the record or bopk club fails to stop sending merchandise usually due to clerical errors in other cases pranksters have sent in coup ons and orders in another per sons name deceased persons a particularly objectionable prac tice ls that of sending merchan dise by cod to persons who have recently died a survivor in the household often accepts the goods believing they were actually ordered by the decea sed before death it ls against tholaw to send any article by cod which has not been order ed or requested charity mailings item such as christmas and easter seals key us service etc are sent to households unsolicited with a request for a donation in some cases or a definite sum j others vhls ls a generally accepted method of raising funds for chartable purposes and therefore results in few complaints clip and paste this scheme involves sending a bus- mess firm a document which looks like a bill or an invoice hut which is actually a solicita tion or an advertisement for the operators service these documents can be mistaken for legitimate bills and paid in error the post office now re quires that any invoicetype doc ument must clearly indicate it is a solicitation that it la not a bill and that payment is not required unless the offer is ac cepted credit cards there is nothing illegal about sending unsolicited credit cards through the mail but you should note an important condition that al most invariably accompanies each cprd jn words such at these the cardholder named hereon agrees to pay for all purchases made by any per son using this card until the company has received i written notice of its loss i or theft it is entirely up to you to decide if you should keep tie i card if you do not want it then destroy it so that no one else can use it keep in mind your ability to meet monthly j payments if you use the card in some cases a credit card may be stolen before it reaches you you will be hilled if someone i else uses it if so notify the i company immediately greeting cards pack ages of cards are mailetf to the home and the recipient is re quested to mail his payment to the firm often the request fori payment subt y hints that it will i benefit handicapped persons it this case however the post office now requires that a not ice be included with the ship- ment stating that you do not have to pay the return postage i and in fact you are under no legal obligation either to pur chase the cards or to return i them other unsolicited good reported range from religious music sent to churches to min iature cameras sent to names chosen from local telephone di rectories the canada pest office de partment does not have legal i authority to interfere with ordinary business carried out j by mail certain mailings hxw- ever are considered offenevs under the criminal code these j include for example mailing j anything that is obscene indec- ent or immoral information regarding bookmaking belting or wagering false or fraudul ent advertising any article concerning schemes to deceive i or defraud the public or to ob- tain money under false pret- ences the post office investi gates all complaints dealing with illegal or objectionable use of the mails and has the auth ority to discontinue mailing privileges where there is cvirl j ence of illegal use the following important j points should be kept in minti dj read
