About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates
Why This Is Important

We have all gone to websites and signed up for a month or a trial period then suddenly after the 3 day or week trial has ended we receive a charge on our card for $29.99! This was stated as an automatic reoccurring billing for our convenience! No this is not a convenience this is a ripe-off.
We need to put a stop to the reoccurring billing for internet websites!

Sure there is a note in the terms and conditions but it’s difficult to find the place to cancel and/or you have a time limit set for when you can cancel without getting billed.

My proposition is this:
Internet website should be obligated by law to provide a radio button on the subscribe page stating the following:

Click this box if you would like to have automatic reoccurring billing applied to this account.

This will end all the secret unwanted and unexpected transactions at the same time it will provide a automatic billing option for those that wish for there subscription to continue with a charge.
