You pay for access, not for use, so there is no way of incurring debt.

So they just don't suspend your account even if billing fails, then after a year or so they can go after the price for 12 months of access.

Alternatively, they can do the same as the ISPs around here: jack up the sticker price, then give a large discount - conditional on your permanence as a client for X months. If you decide to cancel, you have to pay them back the discount accrued.

Even more reasons to pirate. I don't pirate because I think it's right. I pirate because I just don't care.
