My credit card also did this. I phoned them straight away to say I was
not interested, and please never send any again. I pointed out the
security risk, etc. I haven't received anymore....

I get those too, Polly. My shredder really gets a workout. If you
"discover" a way to put the end to these checks, let me know!
Best regards,
Michelle in Nevada

I just received a notice from this same service for Trailer Life which if we
ever subscribed to it - it must have been years ago, I don't remember it.
In fairly fine print, at the bottom, it says "not a bill". Used to get
them for Alaska magazine from the same service, as you said it was cheaper
renewing through Alaska magazine. I finally called Alaska magazine and they
said there wasn't anything they could do about those companies billing for
their magazines.

For Christmas each year we get our grandchildren subscriptions to a magazine
they will enjoy getting every month. That said, beginning in August, we keep
getting these "Renew NOW" notices - even for magazines the kids have
outgrown and haven't subscribed to in years! Kids grow and change their
preferences... the mag. companies don't seem to "get it" -- unless they
figure us "oldies" have a lack of record keeping or memory!
It's aggrivating to say the least! But I "black out" the names and numbers
(or shred them). Seems like these companies are wasting a lot of money!

We also get these for the previous house owner - he move to Scotland 10
years ago!
