[quote=Anonymous]Hi DCUM,

I hope you can provide me with some insight as I deal with trying to cancel my business WM acct.

I have had a commercial account with Waste Management (in another state) for nearly 10 years.

Over the years, their rates have raised significantly and regularly, to the point where I no longer want to do business with them.

I called today to cancel my service.

They said that I cannot cancel the service without buying out a 3 year contract.

I signed a 3 year renewal contract in 2010.  I did not sign a new contract when the 3 year renewal came up in 2013 because I knew there was a possibility of us closing the business this spring (we did not).

They say that contract from 2010 includes an automatic 3 year renewal, whether or not we signed a new contract renewal in 2013.  They are also saying the only way I can cancel this contract is to buy out a 3 year renewal.

I know this is not ethical, but is it legal?

The only type of renewal like this that I have seen are one year renewals for things like cell phone contracts.[/quote]
