Brief Complaint Description:

I guess I am a one for the books. I never received a contract, but still figure that credit card fraud is grounds to cancel any contract.

If you are advertising with idearc in the yellowpages or other media (lower case for obvious reasons) and wisely wish to stop, you must notify them in writing at the address specified in the tiny print in their contract (remember that, still have a copy somewhere?). The contract renews annually without notice to you and you will be charged every year unless you follow the exact letter of the contract. Notifying them verbally is not enough, even though they will tell you on the phone it is. Send the cancellation certified mail and save the receipt so you can prove you sent it when they bill you anyway and say they never received it.

You must also send the notice at a specified time before the publication of the next year's directory- in my case it was 14 days. It is not always easy to know when that date is, since idearc wants you to miss it, and be responsible for another year.

Finally, if they have already dinged your credit, and you believe you've been treated unfairly, why pay them at all? Soon they will be gone, and if consumers realize what is going on and don't pay them, it will hasten their demise.

Just my 2 cents.
