While you "may" get a ding on your credit record going thru your bank & stopping payment is easy. I get that many people don't have the time to chase everything down. Despite Hulu's acknowledgement of cancellation in April (not this yr) they billed me for 6 more months. It was simple to show the Bank the cancellation email from Hulu as even they went WTF???
Didn't get the credit ding, but I know not everyone gets that cancellation email.
Pretty sure if you can show emails where you requested service termination the Bank would be fine with it.
Have been looking at services that offer cancellation services for internet subscriptions cause altho the fee annoys me, saving time & headaches is probably worth it.
We here are a relatively small group... but I bet none of us can say "I've never had difficulty cancelling an on-line service agreement"...
A few dollars here, a few dollars there... it adds up quickly... and it is all money that the providers enjoy holding onto.... obviously, since they keep doing it.
I don't doubt the lobby will "get their way." They've got deep pockets.
But it sure seems like we should at least be able to talk about it... even if the FCC and the FTC and the rest of the appointees are already sold and payed for. They still have to hear it from us.
I can say I have run across the "never-ending" money suck time and again, from everything between World of Warcraft subscriptions to Anti-Spyware 'services,' to streaming 'services'... and so much more. They've cost yours truly thousands over time... and returned nothing... eliciting visions of elated people rubbing their nipples in gleeful schadenfreude as I complained into the phone...
If you were the foot-dragger when you paid for the services they would have no problem cutting you off quickly.
