Default Annoying subscription notices

The other day I got a letter from someplace called "Readers Payment
Service".
They sent me an invoice for a year's subscription to Popular Mechanics
magazine.
I have a subscripton and I renewed it in December.
Why are they sending me this bill?
I have received similar letters in the past and have sent them money
without checking to see when I renewed.The money was applied to my
subscription but it meant having more money tied up in the
subscription than I wanted.
I have even received letters from them or someone similar asking for
more money than the subscription price directly to the magazine.
How many of you have had this experience?
Is there someone I can complain to about this?
I could complain to Popular Mechanics but this would do no good for
the other magazines I've gotten invoices for.
Some of them were for magazines I don't even subscribe to.

We get all our magazines through one of the discount magazine
subscription services, so I just have to pay one bill a year.

We use:

http://www.ebscomags.com/

But, every year I get renewal notices directly from nearly every one of
the magazines we're subscribe to, and they're usually priced
significantly higher than what ebscomags.com charges us.

Oh well, can't blame 'em for trying I guess...
