if it takes more than 30min to cancel a service/account i just call my bank, explain the situation and reject all future transactions from that merchant.


30 minutes? You're quite patient. If it took longer than 5 minutes on the phone I'd probably call my bank.


Can you run into legal issues with this? If the company still thinks youre using the product/service but not paying? I would like to know because i want to use this strategy.


merchants are always notified of chargebacks and penalized. if a certain percent of your transactions have chargebacks you can have your merchant account cancelled.

this may not work if you have a contract, but if the business doesn't make it easy enough to cancel a service agreement they have no right to my money and i'm going to make sure my response affects their bottom line so they pay attention and cancel my account.
