Cancellation fees

$50 cancellation fee for canceling a week in advance is a rip off. I need to look for another provider with better terms.

C-card problem

Won’t take my saved credit card with Budget which is valid and works for me all the time when charging with other companies, so I have to manually enter another credit card.
