Natural Health Network slimming tablets

Hi
I found a recent advert for slimming tablets which offered a free sample. I ordered the SlimVidal and the Colon Flow which i received today. All they initially asked for was £2.49 postage and 99p shipping for each item. So when i opened the package today i was shocked to see that they would be charging me £64.95 plus £2.49 for each item after 14 days. They classed this as a trial so i called them immediately to cancel as i really cant afford in excess of £120 a month. In the end they gave me a discount but have still had to pay £104.92 today and i have cancelled any future orders. They did offer me a "trial" on another product which i politely declined as i dont want any more surprise bills. Eventually she accepted my request though she couldnt understand why i didnt want to take part in another trial.
I just wanted to know if anyone else has had any dealings or problems with this company. I should have known nothing in this world is free but i have certainly learnt my expensive lesson this time. Thank goodness i read the small print enclosed with my package today as they automatically send out products after 14 days and bill you monthly
