How to Stop Magazine Subscriptions
When you are trying to reduce the amount of mail you receive, it can be frustrating to receive unwanted magazine subscriptions. Sometimes, even though you did not order or pay for these magazines, they continue to come every week or every month cluttering your mailbox and filling your garbage can. Stop magazine subscriptions with firm and forceful steps, including contacting the magazine publisher to have your name removed from the subscription list. Does this Spark an idea?

Watch your mail for invoices and do not ignore them. Read the invoices and look for information that will enable you to contact the magazine publisher. If you find a contact telephone number, call it and explain that you did not order the magazine and you do not wish to receive it. If you cannot find a telephone number, write "Do not wish to receive---cancel subscription" on the invoice and mail it back to the publisher. Be prepared to send back more than one invoice with this message, if necessary.

Look through the first several pages of the magazine to find contact information for the publisher. Locate a customer service telephone number and call this number to speak directly with a service representative for the magazine publisher. Explain to the representative that you did not order the magazine and you do not wish to receive it.

Find a mailing address for the circulation department of the magazine publisher within the opening pages of the magazine. Send a simple letter telling them you did not order the magazine and you do not wish to receive it. Send the letter promptly to stop the magazines from arriving.

Pass the unwanted magazines on to someone who will read them if they continue to arrive in your mailbox. In the event you cannot find anyone to accept the magazines, recycle them.

I am suffering the same issue, unfortunately I told the sales representative to NOT sign me up, I did not want any of the magazines because they were not in my budget. Guess what she did anyways? I got a call from the company today telling me that not only did I still have a subscription, but I had one since September and had a payment schedule to begin at 60.99 per month for 20 months. I told him take me out of that automatic renewal, and take me off of your list, I told that woman not to sign me up for your service. I then went to my bank and told them what happened. I had to have my debit card de-activated immediately. That is my best advice to you, tell your credit-card company to deny all payments to whomever these guys are, contact the magazine publishers, and finally (very important) GET YOUR NUMBER CHANGED! then when you have done that, register with your states 'Do Not Call' registry. Other than that, good luck.

I've been getting a lot of magazines I don"t want. I made a BIG mistake. I received a sales call that resulted in agreeing to some magazines that would continue 5 years. This was through a subscription service. I had buyers remorse, but they wouldn't let me cancel. I was told they would reduce my subscription to three years, but my billing does not refect that. I'm also getting a bunch of magazines I never asked for. The service won't even stop sending those. They said they were complimentary, but I don't want them! Is there anything I can do?
