So when I got my Elite there was an offer for a free Official Xbox Magazine included, so I mailed it in. I got my free magazine last month but today I received another magazine!?! So now I'm thinking that it was a trick and now I have to pay for a whole years worth of OXM. It's only like 25 bucks for 12 issues, but I just wanted one free magazine. Anyway, how can I cancel this madness? And what if I don't pay for it since I only signed up for the "free" magazine, will I get charge somehow? I didn't send in a check or credit card or anything, so yeah. Can anyone let me know whats the deal? Thanks.

They can go after your credit. My credit is flawless, so the company can't do anything, but if you have a reputation.

if you haven't given the company who makes the magazine any financial info, then they can't possibly be charging you and there's no problem.

The same thing happened to me. But then they started sending me letters "demanding" a payment. I sent them repeated emails explaining i didnt want a subscription because i traveled alot for work and always bought my copy at the store. They continued to harass me over, and over again demanding payment or they would turn my information over to a debt collector. It took forever to finally get them to leave me alone. Only threating to stop purchaseing their mag all together did they finally stop. And after buying every single issue since the mag launched, i havent bought one since.

Ive gotten over 20 different free mag subscriptions over the years just through the free offers and I always just used an alias so even though they sent me all these letters about turning me over to the collection agency its never hurt my credit.

They'll send you a bill, just right cancel on it and send it in. That way you can do it over and over again.
