My girlfriend was called by Area Circulation and she agreed to receive magazines from the company for $5.00 per month. She thought it sounded good, so she agreed. Next thing you know, we are being billed $49.95 monthly and receiving about 15-30 different magazines weekly!
When we discovered what was happening, we of course freaked out and called the number on the bill to cancel. We were told that we could not cancel, and they offered to lower the payment to $29.95 per month. I refused this offer, and demanded that Area Circulation cancel the subscription, but they refused and the agent actually hung up on me when I insisted that they cancel the subscription immediately.
So I did some research. There is a way to cancel. You have to write a couple simple letters, and there are laws that protect consumers like me and my girlfriend from companies like Area Circulation.
I just put up a web site to help other people cancel. It took some research on my part, but I am willing to share the information in order to help put Area Circulation out of business.

Visit the site and send us an email - we can give you information about the stategy we used - it works very well and is really pretty simple.
We even got a refund for some of the money that Area Circulation billed us for! Let's work together and take Area Circulation off the map!
