This may or may not be your situation, but when deciding to subscribe or renew to any magazine be sure to read the back and front as well as the fine print. Most magazines now will have an automatic renewal within the subscription form. It's important to read and understand your options. The magazine could automatically renew in some cases for up to 3 years.
Many are like the cell phone, dish TV, and Cable tv companies on their contracts, in that they are not always forgiving and point out that it was in your contract. It's strange to me that they will hold you to that for another year or two, and yet lose you as a customer for for the rest of your life. We no longer subscribe to any magazine for that reason. We used to get mail offers for magazines with auto renewal, and I would call each one and tell them exactly why I would not consider them. Then I would ask them to cease and desist contact. All have been considerate enough to comply.
Everyone should choose what's best for them on any subscription or contract.
I have the same issue with this company. They will not let me cancel my subscription even though I told them I cannot afford the magazines anymore and they take the hard line like tough luck lady, but you gotta pay even if you can't. And on top of it all, I notice that my last MacLean's has 2016 as the date my subscription expires...and I signed up for 3 years back in 2009. So what gives. And I called MacLean's to see if it was right I couldn't cancel my subscription and they said they could see no reason why not.
