    If you read the terms I am sure you will find that when you signed up and gave your bank details the onus was on you to cancel prior to the trial ending. If you don't then you are deemed to have signed up to receive the magazines and to pay for them.

    In addition, note that as you received an introductory offer you may not be able to cancel for the period of the contract. With an ordinary subscription you can cancel at any time for a pro rata refund.
