Where I live, you can just not pay for something and it is cancelled.
Phone service, bank card, home internet etc.
If you don't pay your bill than they just cancel your membership and it works ok.
People in western countries are just getting shafted by companies for (mostly) no reason because an alternative balance is just inconceivable.
