If they're trying to charge you, then auto-renewal is still on or there's something glitched with your gamertag. If they were trying to charge you and it didn't work, then your account would be suspended. It shouldn't keep retrying every year.
After a couple of months, it just locks out the account until they get paid. You might want to make sure that the charges haven't been going through anyways (somehow).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
