Oh... So my simply canceling auto-renewal today was enough? If so, that's good news.

Guess what happened when I checked my bank statement today. A good ole charge from the ECA for 19.99. I'm pretty livid right now. I have my email from 12-16-09 saying my membership had been canceled. Obviously, my credit card info had not been removed from the system like the email said since they fucking processed it again. So a warning to those who were behind me in renewals, keep your eyes peeled for a charge from them.

That sucks. At least you kept the e mail. I kept mine too just in case. Keep us updated on what happens from here since most of us will have to jump through the same hoops.

Can't you just contact your credit card company, dispute the charge and have it removed?

Before you even contact them, you should fire off an email to all the major gaming sites. Some of them were quick to report the shit last year and I'm guessing one or more of them would be glad to write a quick story and follow up with the ECA. The more bad press this organization gets, the better.

I'll send off an email to one of the gaming sites. It's spreading over at CAG right now as well as I believe there are 2 others showing charges.
I'm disputing the charge with my bank. I wish I had charged it to a regular CC instead of my bank. I guess they charged as a debit so now my bank has to issue me a new card instead of just canceling the charge. Great...so now I'm without a freaking card.

The first rule of buying shit over the internet is to never use your debit card/bank account. How do people still not know this?
I think I joined in June, so I'll have to remember to check my account then.

I know...I know. I typically don't. I was trying to get in the habit of not using my CC and pulling money from my account.

I know it's a pain in the ass, but why don't you just preemptively cancel your cards with the ECA membership attached before your renewal date to avoid this issue???
Just call up your credit card company, tell them you lost the card so they'll reissue a new one with different numbers...

Received this email today...
"TheECA: ECA Full Membership role expiration notice
This is your notice that your membership is about to expire. You will have 45 days to respond to this notice. Click here to update your billing address. Once you are finished please log into your profile to edit your membership status."
I canceled my membership earlier this year. Should I be worried that I will get charged? I tried logging into my account but it says my loginID is either blocked or has not been activated.

I went a step further and reported my card stolen a couple months ago. I would love to see them try and charge it now.
