Looks like I’ll be forced into human to human interaction.
Last time that happened to me I just called the bank and told them to block payments. I think it was either stamps.com or siriusxm. Really no reason to prevent someone from cancelling right away... just a shady tactic to retain people.
Sounds like Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Bunch of wankers that want a 10 minute call just to cancel, you can't even cut them off 'listen mate, i just want to cancel and finish this call' as they don't process it. NEVER subscribe to WSJ even if you get 6 months free - there is no online cancellation and cunts refer to debt collection agencies for renewal fees.
