It seems to be happening to quite a few companies lately as a new type of marketing thing, lkooked at one the other day, order x amount of wine to be delivered for reasonable price, but unless you cancel right away they send you the same amount every month,crafty but legal .answer ALWAYS READ THE SMALL PRINT.Saves you cash and trouble,and anything over £100. pay by Credit card. :-S

bit of an update here - just had a letter from Barclays informing me that the account has been cancelled but it will take up to thirty days to do this!!! I thought OMG, then I will get another charge for the same amount.
So I rang the company and went off like a bull at a gate, telling the guy I was going to police and the press - anyway, when I let him speak he said he would send me a confirmation email for the cancellation AND will arrange for a refund and that I will also get a confirmation of the refund and he gave me two reference numbers for the refunds. Now whether or not this will happen, we'll just have to wait and see

Hi Ann,
If this is the same cream that the story on RIP Off Britain was about, the lady was charged every month for a supply of the cream. By not cancelling in the 'trial period' she had effectively 'agreed' to enter into the contract and apparently it was one that could only the company could cancel!! The couple interviewed had lost hundreds of pounds.
