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.
Here I collected prices for domains (only what I'm interested in). If you did that too, I'd be glad to see your spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Amel5Zz4w7aLdFl...

Network Solutions has been doing other unethical things for years.

After quickly glancing over their credentials, it seems like the underlying problem is that the key leadership is entirely business people while the people with actual training in CS or engineering handle smaller responsibilities like "Online Marketing". In today's world of developer-friendly SaaS, they're doomed.

Hardly necessary if "I do not have an active credit card on file with them"...
Sure, until they decide you have an overdue balance and send it to collections. (Not suggesting they do this... but if they think you owe them money, they certainly could)
Just my 2cents!
