How do I get rid of this stupid thing? Can I call the credit Bureau myself and ask it to be removed?
An advice as what to my next step is with Gold's?

If it's gone to a credit bureau I'd call the bureau and tell them you're being billed for something you never signed for. See if they correct it, if they do not call a lawyer.

Now there are ways out of it, you can offer a settlement or ask for a cancellation of contract because your contract is techniclaly up, but becausae you signed the auto renewal they have every right to go after you, but you have every right to cancel it. they may ask you to pay a cancellation fee or much less dollar amount to make it go away. however make sure you get everyuthing in writing, before you pay and after you pay.

From how I understand it, and from what Troutman posted, even if he signed an auto-renewal in lieu of cancellation it doesn't matter. It's in statute that they cannot ask you to do that, so even if you agree there is no force and effect.
I could be mistaken, but contacting a lawyer is never a bad option, especially in this type of situation. I'd be willing to bet as soon as they get a letter from a lawyer's office on their desk they'll kiss your behind.
