    You signed a contract. So if you cancel your card and ignore their letters/emails/calls, they’ll keep charging you and then send it to collections, which will then garnish your wages unless you fight it in court.

    There’s been numerous examples of this happening. Please get a copy of your contract and read how to cancel it and do it properly.

    It’s stupid and extortion, but you gotta play the game.

      Common sense would dictate that if if presented with a 30 pages contract in small letters in legalese, your usual folk will not get it. I think that’s a common defense.

        It’s not. Or rather, it is something people commonly try, but it doesn’t work. The court system is designed by lawyers, for lawyers. The idea that a contract isn’t valid just because a non-lawyer can’t understand it categorically does not fly with them.
