    You can download the relevant paperwork from their website if you prefer and it would probably be a better option if you feel yer man is dodgy.

    For 3 years I had a standing order to them. I revoked it however after the Ryan report as I was concerned that my funds would be used to fund compensation. I did write a letter informing them but didn't receive any reply.

    I signed up to them a couple of years back, I called to ensure that he was a representative to make sure before signing. They told me they would take a direct debit for 5 months and 5 months only. They were the only charity I set up a direct debit too that stood by their word, I had two others taking money for over a year after signing, one being 6mths and one 10 mths I think. I had to call the bank and cancel the debits. St. John is a good charity.
