Keep getting charged and cant cancel

[greengary81]

I cancelled my 2 phone lines which were 30 day rolling contracts back in april, i cancelled them because the signal wasnt good in my area. I cancelled them within the 14 day period by calling the call centre and spending about 50 minutes on the phone but eventually they said they were cancelled. I thought nothing would come off my next bill but suprisingly ive now paid 2 x £21 for april, 2 x £21 for may and 2 x £21 for june now, so a total of £126 for a serivce i cancelled and dont want or use, ive never even activated the SIM. 

Back on the 22nd of May i also raised a complaint about the cancellation not going through, but ive heard nothing from that. I then lodged another complaint through resolver 2 weeks ago but same again, ive heard nothing.

What can i do now? i dont want to cancel the direct debit as no doubt ill get a bad credit marker. Also i dont use social media.

Official complaints are running at around 8 weeks to get a reply.

After that time you can escalate it to the Communications Ombudsman.

You can call Communications Ombudsman on 0330 440 1614 or write to them at:

OK thanks for the info, maybe they should put that in their email response instead of saying 7 days which both email responses said. Is there any other way i can cancel, the website suggests i can do it on "myo2" but i dont see a cancel button.
