I noticed AOL's "Xdrive" listed in the snapshot from the article.

Just an FYI for those who have not heard already - do NOT use Xdrive!

I had it back last spring on a 30 day trial where I had to give a CC # to sign up.

Called back to cancel after about two weeks as I did not like it for various reasons, and I felt that $9.95 each month was too steep.

Got a cancelation verification and confirmation that I would not be charged from the person on the phone, etc...

Long story short is that I called them about 4 times to get this canceled as each time they'd cancel, issue a refund then start billing me again shortly after.

Every time was a +90 minute phone call, numerous escalations to "supervisors", retelling the story over and over each time.

I finally had to get my bank involved, and while on the phone with both my back represenative and the Xdrive rep I told the Xdrive guy I was recording the conversation because I was considering starting a Class Action.

All in all about a full day wasted over the last year and some lost money.

Google for "problems canceling Xdrive" if you want to know more.
