Equifax - How do you Cancel the Thing!?

Quick question ladies and gents,
how do you cancel an equifax account? I signed up for the month free credit report, yet after 30 minutes looking for the cancel button a week later i'm stumped! Any ideas?
On a seperate note i really can't see the point in having the thing for longer than a week to check you have no unwanted cards etc. Recently, when I apply for a card i get told they have checked my credit report and looked at certain factors which they cannot reveal and I have not qualified for the card. Yet when i check my credit report it's good (i'm in the plus having never missed a payment on anything etc). However people I know that are in debt get sent more and more cards by the minute. If the government wants to stop the banking system going wrong and people into debt this is the first thing that should be addressed! Rant Over... sorry!

Just ring up,tell them you never intended to sign up and only wanted a one off credit report and also you think the site is misleading. They will cancel on the phone. IMHO the site is misleading and you end up signing up for something you dont want or need.0

Thanks guys.
It's not really on that you can't cancel it on the web, those tactics aren't the most moral! It's a good job i'm off this morning or i'd never have been able to ring between 9-5!0
