How about making it something the credit card companies are responsible for? For example, make the credit card company require explicit permission from you for a merchant to begin a recurring charge to your account. Then, if you subsequently decide to cancel the service, just contact your credit card company and revoke that permission, which will have them notify the merchant. That way you can be really sure the charges will stop, and the merchant has no room to dawdle. You'll simply see the "final bill" amount on your next statement, and that will be that.
The idea that the exact same process is used to make a one-time charge on your account, and to authorize an open-ended monthly or yearly subscription, and you might not be sure what you're getting, is absurd.
