I had similar problems (not the least of which was that they started my 
subsciption with the November issue, at the end of December).  I wouldn't
worry about the threatening letter.  By the time they get around to cancelling
your subscription they'll figure out that you've paid for it, at least that's
what seems to have happened in my case.
