Using your stored CC info to auto-bill you for an unrelated product that you never consented to be billed for is quite likely in violation of their merchant agreement with the CC processor.
I'm glad to see he's transferring to hover.com. I moved my domains there a little over a year ago and couldn't be happier. I didn't have issues with NS but had a lot of issues with Register.com doing shady things like this. Hover.com is about first domain registrar I've used that didn't feel shady as far as milking every last dollar they could out of me. Trying to up sell, etc.
namecheap is also great IMHO

Isn't it straight-up fraud and/or theft?
I have an account with Network Solutions that they will not let me cancel without calling their sales team. I do not have an active credit card on file with them nor do I have any domains or hosting services. They send me e-mails every month trying to bill me for something that I haven't signed up for with language indicating that I'm about to "lose" my services (that don't exist) if I don't pay. They're terrible. It…

If you send them an email demanding your account be canceled, CC companies will usually let you use that to dispute further charges until your account is actually canceled.
Hardly necessary if "I do not have an active credit card on file with them"...
(Not suggesting they do this... but if they think you owe them money, they certainly could)
scaring old people with threats into paying recurring premiums for absolutely nothing besides their own corporate incompetence.
Also, kids, this is why you change your credit card info every year, at least.

Would as well recommend Namecheap.com, really professional.

Yes. i mean, no, because they get bonuses for every revenue they drive like that, so they won't discuss it in a meeting. They will instead gather a small band of loyals, and implement that in the dark, reporting only way up.
I know because I worked with a company that was like monster.com but charged from the poor people looking for the jobs. Companies could list the positions for free, and the people submiting to the positions had to pay. It was free the first month, but you had to give a credit card. Which WILL be charged every month unless you fight on the phone. Simply canceling on the site does absolutely nothing.
A Phone Call is REQUIRED for Domain Transfers from Network Solution to Other Registrars
.. Transferring a Domain from Network Solutions to another provider requires the Primary Account Contact to make a phone call to Network Solutions technical support (average time 10 to 30 minutes).
.. Use of the Network Solutions website procedure to obtain a Transfer Code, by the Account Primary Contact, requires a minimum 3 days wait.
