Angies List review: Unethical behaviors, hidden 35% (of $3,600) cancellation fee. 4

I investigated Angie's List for a repair business I was planning operating on a business license, not a contractors license, limiting me to $500 per job .
I was not sure Angie's list had non contractors, I informed them I was in the process of getting a business license. I was told everything was fine they had a handyman section, I could always modify my ad as required, they got my card # to start the "account"/ ad, I was told a lady was to follow up and complete my setup, they had a $300 a month setup that I was doubtful would be worth in my case as I was planning on performing $29 AC or Heater tune ups, I would need 10 jobs a month to pay that with me making zero actually costing me about $50 in gas alone, plus my work is seasonal, 5 months a year nobody calls for heat or AC service, I was not convinced it was worth doing for me.
I was stricken with a kidney stone that turned out to be 2nd stage renal cell carcinoma, kidney cancer, needless to say I put off any idea of working for awhile, I never completed the setup, they had an incorrect phone number listed for my ad they posted with HVAC Contractors, not handymen!
The ad they posted was a sorry excuse to bill me for nothing provided. I emailed them informing them of my status and next thing you know I am billed another $300 despite my having kidney cancer and never completing the setup. Angie's list was obtuse and simply plodded ahead billing me, ignoring me, posting an ad that was pathetic in comparison to the rest, it had no graphic art or pictures, no reviews and it had a NA across the face of the page! And the phone # they posted was not mine!
Somehow they had my phone # to leave voice mails ignoring my status, they took out my last $700 and next thing you know they keep trying to take money out disregarding my status, they actually tried with lower amounts until they tricked my credit union into covering $260 which put my account about - $250. I had to file a complaint and cancel my card to stop the robbing of my funds, I never got a single job nor was I ever legally able to perform any work yet, I was allegedly vetted? how that could happen is beyond me, they obviously disregarded their alleged vetting so they could bill my account as if everything was fine and I was valid and legal. I got the bank to repay me the $260 however the $6oo + they nabbed from me I have to sue them for in small claims which I am doing.
Angie's list came up with a hidden cancellation fee of 35% of 1 years worth of ads! What kind of a business charges you to cancel if it is not paying off for you financially? They expect everyone to gamble with owing35% of $3, 600 a t a minimum to try out Angie's list to see if it works for you? No they never mention this or nobody would ever sign up.
If you look online they have been doing this same theme repeatedly which evidences a scam, a barely legal way to steal in my opinion.
Walk the line, but keep it legal, barely.
I notice websites using a subscription to bill on a continuous basis unless you cancel it and since you do not know it exists this makes cancelling it impossible, stealing from a dying man is pretty low.
