Ending Unwanted Subscriptions

Real estate professionals often accumulate a variety of services, subscriptions and products, which become repetitively billed on their credit cards each month.  These subscriptions may have seemed of benefit when first acquired, but are no longer.

 
In past years, I had signed up for several subscriptions, services and products.  Eventually, I found most were no longer meeting my needs. 

When I looked at my credit card bill, I realized I was forking over a considerable amount each month for these unused products.  HOWEVER, the catch came when I tried to cancel, and wasn't easily finding company contact information.

In some cases, I found no phone number; or easy access to the billing party.  I began spending an inordinate amount of time trying to find the originator of the billing - because I had been originally phone or internet solicited, I hadn't make first contact and didn't have their phone numbers or addresses - even when I visited their websites.

A solution I came up with which worked for me, and may work for you as well.  I contacted my credit card issuer, and asked that they change credit card numbers for me, and to not allow those who had billed to my old credit card number to bill to the new one.

I did have valid service providers, which I needed to contact, and provide with my new card number - but all others were shut off.

That way, a biller needs to contact me in the future, if they wish to try continuing services with me, rather than simply billing automatically, without easily providing information for canceling services.

It worked!
