I would never charge a magazine subscription to a credit card. Not a criticism of anyone who does, but I'm old school when it comes to these things and try to go "cash only" where possible.
They make it pretty impossible to contact them by phone. As I stated before, the number they provided was the correct one --- the automated voice that answered said, "Thank you for calling Rodale Publications automated subscription line..." or something similar. It kept repeating that message.
I'm not surprised that they put out a collection on you, Roadie Girl. For $15, no less, sheesh. I think I will do what you did and call every number listed on their masthead until I can speak to someone. I wish I could charge THEM back for my time (ironically, the calls would "cost" them more than the subscription would have cost me, if I charged them my "hourly wage" at work. I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time on hold, being directed elsewhere, being cut off...).
