This is why I no longer use my own credit card to sign up for anything if I can avoid doing so. Instead, I use Privacy.com to generate cards for each service, and if a service decides to be a pain in the ass in terms of letting me cancel, I simply shut off its card so I can't be charged.
Paypal has it's flaws for sure, but one thing I love about paypal is ability to easily manage and turn off recurring subscriptions. One toogle bar, boom, over, gone, donezo. Easy peasy.
continue to bill you even after you cancel your payment. Apparently you have to cancel the contract (which they hide away under several menu options) or they will continue to bill you and you are legally required to pay it or they send debt collectors after you.
Same. Also Apple payments are great for subscriptions, as like PayPal, they provide a control center to cancel subscriptions. For things like streaming services where I know I only need it for a month, I cancel them within seconds of signing up.
