I hear you on this....a photog from the NE used to send me "proofs", with the instructions that I was to return them if not interested...at my cost in time and material.
Of course I grumbled,......and forgot, and ended up getting "past due" notices and, who knows, maybe a knock on my credit report.
After about 3 attempts, I get no more of the mailings, which, of couse, included much advertising about the photogs other day job as a financial analyst.
I really feel no debt as I never contracted hsi product, and have no responsibility to act as an active participant in a deal I never requested.
It's really the wrong wat to do business, IMHO, when there are WAY better options....such as inviting drivers to view themselves on a website, or actually walking the paddock and talking to people....but that is "inefficient", and is only done by guys like Gordon Jolley.
There are those that will chastise me, for either being harsh in my nonpayment, or because "the photogs won't support our sport if we don't support them", but frankly, they will get all the support I can give if they just play fair.
