They will charge your cancelled account without consent. They do not follow ICANN policies be warned. I worked there, and I was DISGUSTED at how I had to lie to customers and basically make excuses on why we cannot transfer their domain name. If a customer changes their contact information on the domain, they cannot transfer the domain away from Doteasy until after 60 days. So basically, you are FORCED to renew with Doteasy. If you want to transfer your domain name before expiry, they will keep the ball rolling until it expires, and then tell you it has expired, so you cant transfer it and you are required to renew, which is a 60 day lock. If you attempt to dispute charges via your bank. They WILL charge you a hosting chargeback fee. Be warned and stay the hell away from Doteasy / In2Net / Dollarhost (they are all the same company).

I initiated a transfer well in advance of expiration, but they locked the domain & didn't respond to my request for it to be unlocked until after it expired. Tech support has been useless so far. This company should be avoided at all costs.

I do not use Doteasy as my domain registrar, I simply paid the one time $35 setup fee and have not had any additional charges. Although their support is via email only, the turn around time has generally been within 24 hours. I would never use Doteasy as a domain registrar, there are many others less exspensive. But so far, it hasn't mattered who the registrar was, NONE of them want you to transfer from them and all of them take DAYS to unlock your domain. Buy your domain from somewhere else, but you will be hard pressed to beat Doteasy in the hosting.
