Amagazine company called me via the telephone and asked for an order...I accepted initially, but then had a change of heart. They are telling me it is enforceable by law and I am responsible for the charges, even though I wish to cancel

If it was recorded it may be. If not then there is nothing they should be able too do.

All contracts that are over $500, are for land, are for prenuptual agreements, and cannot be completed within one month have to be written. If yours is not one of these, then that constitutes as an oral contract. You have usually 24 hours to change your mind (depending on state). If the company lost wages because of you, yes you are liable because you are in breach of verbal contract. At least that is what they say in business law.. which I got an A+ in.. ;)

Yes, verbal contracts are legally enforceable. Hell there are such things as assumed contracts which are legally enforceable. An assumed contract would be as simple as when you buy something you assume that it is not broke, in poor condition or the wrong item. Athough these types of contracts can be hard to prove.

I think if they recorded the conversation, it may be enforceable. But I think if you cancel within 30 days you may be able to get out of the contract. I did that once, and they gave me no hassle.

If you were recorded with your consent then it is a good possibility that is enforceable. Most states require that phone recordings be known by all parties involved. However if there was a message stating that "this call may be recorded" and it was, then it may be enforceable.

From my brothers law book i studied is that verbal cantracts are only valid only if there are 2 witnesses(other then the contract of the 2 people arguing or whatever) present.

no, as far as i know, verbal contracts are not reliable because any old person could say you said something and try to get money for it. however, if you signed something, then you're stuck unless you pay alot of money. you might want to check with an attorney just to make sure before you refuse them.

I'd tell them to serve you papers.
Even if they recorded you it isn't worth them to pay for a lawyer so you can pay for a crummy magazine.
