Cancelling a news or magazine subscription
Publishers often move you from an introductory price to the standard rate and can steer cancellations towards phone or chat, so a written request is the record that you asked.
If a charge shows up after you cancelled, the letter and its receipt are what you put in front of the company or your bank.
Private Eye's own site is private-eye.co.uk. Check its account and billing area first to see whether the plan is billed by Private Eye itself or by a partner.
