Security Networks Illegal Clause In Contract Internet

Do not consider Security Networks for your home security system. I contracted for their service  and have completed a 3-year contract. It is now 5 months later, and I have decided to end the service. The representative stated that I was under a new automatic 3-year contract and could buy out of it by paying 31 monthly charges. The "Automatic Renewal" clause she referred to is not enforceable under any contract law theory. In fact it would be a contract within a contract with no signature to make it legal. It is preposterous and defies all logic and common sense. No court of "original jurisdiction" would enforce such a clause. It would be a perpetual contract for life and would not hold water in our legal system. Our three year contract was completed in March 2012, and no notification was given to us at that or any prior time. How can such a company do business with this clause in their contract? This is a deceptive company and should be held accountable for these business practices by the BBB, Consumer Affairs, and the Attorney Generals Office. Imagine if landlords, cable companies, and cell phone companies could use this clause in their contracts. It would literally be a contract for life.
