They can be really aggressive and really self-righteous especially if you wont stop for them.

These people will stop you in the street and talk to you as if they are your oldest and best friend. All of which is a false cover for their real intention. Working on commission, they need people to donate to the charities which they represent and to do this they will [guilt trip] you into handing over all your details.
One effective way of giving to the charity, yet not being conned into [surrendering] your card details and other sensitive information is to request the address and contact details of the charities [head office] and offer to make a direct payment. This will annoy the chugger as it cuts them out of the equation but you will have the upper hand. Otherwise try to think of a quirky reply to their begging for which they will have no answer or look straight through them.

Usually an agency worker where the agency takes a hefty cut of the [hourly rate] that the charity in question has paid for, whilst at the same time increasing profits by selling on details of those foolish enough to actually stop and sign up to said Good Cause.
