I have dealt with this. My card was charged for an annual when I signed up for the monthly. It took three telephone calls to get them to undo this. After my monthly membership was later dropped, they called my home no less than fifteen times to try to get me to sign up.

Geneaology.com is just as bad. You have to watch out with these places. Their overhead is high and they hardsell everyone.

Thanks,
John

They're terrible! They make you call them and talk to them in person before you can cancel. This is so they can put a hard sell on you and it's very disturbing. I just found out that there have been TWO accounts in my name and I've been getting double billed. They won't do a thing about it, but I'll keep calling until they decide I'm too much trouble not to help!
