When you used to cancel services with a company, it was easier. If I was in a bad mood, I'd just tell them I'm leaving and it was none of their business why. Now they are pushy. I would sometimes tell them I'm moving, but that doesn't work anymore because they're all over the country. Gyms, cable companies, etc.

Any ideas on excuses that will stump them?

This sounds like an issue only betas encounter.

I find that "I no longer want this product or service" does the trick.

Price is too high. Service sucks. Just say no and move on. I usually start off by saying, no need to try to keep me, Ive made my decision.

Someone who works there is a racist or has a relative, living or otherwise, who is/was racist.

I don't mind telling them that, but it doesn't usually stop their questioning so I still have to waste another few minutes of my life.

I do not want this product or service and I will dispute every credit card transaction going forward if I am not cancelled right away.

Dealing with the credit card companies can be a big hassle for them so it often works.

The other thing you can do is go into your online credit card account, generate a one time use credit card number, and change your credit card information to that. When your card starts to fail they may be more likely to stop giving you the product you don't want anyways.

Works for me every time. Why waste time being nice. They just ignore you and keep talking.

Had a lady last week say, " I am ending this call because of your tone." :lol:

The other thing I like to do with schmuck's like that is put the 3yr old on the phone and let her "talk" to the nice man from the cable company who wants to give us HBO for free for a month after I told him numerous times that I do not want it for free.

I tell her to say hi and talk about Pal Patrol.

That is also bad juju.

Of course if you actually had cancer, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

I am not lying about having stage 3 cancer, you savages. I am also not cussing out a frontline sales person who is probably struggling to get by. Threatening to cuss them out seems reasonable, though.
