"In my case I tried to cancel a subscription 30 days in advance recently (nearly 1K per year). It turns out you have to cancel 90 days in advance but not more than 120 days in advance?? So now I'm on the hook for another 1K."
I believe you can put a stop payment at the bank. At my bank they charge $30. When the creditor calls the bank, they will
read to the creditor the reason you are not paying.
- mattlondon 5y agoNot paying does not absolve you of your contractual obligations though. I had a service that I just stopped paying for once, assuming that they'd cancel my account when the money stopped coming. False - they kept billing me then sold my "debt" to a debt-collection firm who called me at work etc.
- slownews45 5y agoWhen I was young I learned this the very hard way. I moved. Called to cancel my cable service. Person said no problem, box up modem and leave it outside. I did that. Never thought of it again for 4-5 years until I was trying to rent a place in my own name. Yep, the retention specialist 5 years ago met his numbers by NOT cancelling me out. So I had something like an extra 12 months of charges plus modem cost plus a credit hit. Because I really need this place to live in (3 others were depending on it/me) I ended up coughing up a ton of money. Lessons learned.
- bickeringyokel 5y agoSounds like in that case you were a victim of fraud rather than avoiding your contractual obligations?
- shadilay 5y ago"fraud" is when you don't have lawyers to get you out of the problem.
