This just very poor business practice and I would tell them so when I called to let them know I no longer want their magazine. Oh, and by the way, they are now on YOUR poor business list! I don't do business with rude people or companies.

Eddie, I am so proud of you for bringing this to the attention of those who may not have been attacked...I have, I am not sweet nor gentle and am on predisone for a bad back and I am dangerous....so good for you.. I have had a something similair and I sent out notices to BBB, anyone and everyone I could think of....I have nothing better to do, as I tell AT&T everytime they bill me for the $10 I do not owe them...I can set and wait on their lines to be free as well as set and watch the weather channel....or I had rather quilt, but have done that...while I wait also....thanks again...made my day...memepeggy

This makes my blood boil when I see companies use threats and intimidation like this, simply because someone choose not to renew their subscription. GRRRRRRR!!!!

This is one reason I don't take any quilt magazines at all. Too many times they are the same thing over and over again but with just a different color added or color change.
I don't see that I get anything educational from it and I tired of the advertisements....

I am having the same problem Better Homes and Garden. I sent back the bill twice for them to cancel my subscription. Still receive magazine with invoice. Wrote a letter to cancel and any future magazines is at there expense. The other day I received magazine and invoice. Took invoice out of package and resealed magazine and taped the invoice on top marked "REFUSED" return to sender. I wonder if that will get there attention. They are very pushey about keeping your subscription. I no longer subscribe to magazines.
