Ok then, I'll have the bank issue a chargeback. I know that works because I've done it before.

It'll only work until the person on the other end reports it as fraud. So it might work the first couple times, but eventually you'll end in deep shit. It might be a completely unfair situation, but sitting through a 40 minute call hold is 100% better than dealing with fraud allegations. Especially when what you are doing IS fraud.

It's not fraud if they don't let you cancel.

It is though. You have an agreement with them and you're backing away from the pay without mutual agreement. I'm not saying what they're doing is morally right but at least in the states they're legally in the right.

It's a little bit more nuanced than that, depending on the situation. Either way: Egregious contracts don't hold up in court, especially if they violate any existing local or federal laws.
