Actually there is another option. Make a complaint to your state's Attorney General's Office. They usually have a website for filing consumer complaints, and AGO will contact the business, and the business is usually responsive when contacted by AGO.

How does this work? Do you provide the AGO with your name, phone and address? Subscription details?
