Cancelling a card and not paying a bill doesn't mean you no longer owe the underlying debt. A real company like the NYT will still pursue collecting the debt

You typically get charged in advance for periodical subscriptions. If the charge doesn't go through, they simply won't send you the paper anymore.

It’ll be months worth of them, and there are plenty of cheap agencies that will make minimal effort, report to the credit bureaus, and wait for you to come to them begging to get it off because you can’t get a mortgage.
