    /rant on/ I love how companies make it dreamy easy to sign up/subscribe to a monthly service like credit reporting, subscription radio etc, via slick web interfaces... But conveniently bury the crap out of how to cancel, and when you find it, your only option is to call a phone number (commonly known as the 'retentions department' ) for them to beg you to stay on and suddenly, miracle of miracles, the cost to stay on drops by 50% to 75%. /rant off/

    Sirius Radio is the A1 leader in practicing this BS. Also if a company can instantly sign you up for a service it should be mandatory that you can quit the service in the same fashion and the cancellation is effective immediately.

    @WayneSchulz that almost sounds like a request to sign up for the nanny state.

    Just called freecredit report. The $16.95/month I've been paying for 14 months, suddenly is offered at $8/month for 24 more months including reports from all 3 reporting agencies cancelled at any time. I still cancelled. Sorry about the wrong group

    If people would just treat others like they would want to be treated then both ""nanny state"" and ""terrorism"" would vanish from our vocabularies.
