Hi All.

I have inadvertently entered into an agreement by accepting an offer which included a monthly subscription. Yes, I didn't read the T&C's etc.

The 'agreement' was made online and confirmed by email.

Now I have realised my mistake I dont want any further products (what I received wasn't very tasty (beer)) and so I don't want any more.

Clicking the 'cancel your orders' button leads to call this number, which I did and after 10 minutes of no answer decided to email them using their enquiry page.

Is this enough? If they continue to take funds do I have a leg to stand on?

Thanks in advance.

Direct Debit, or Continuous Payment Authority on a card? You've a great chance of stopping a DD, less so of a CPA, but either way, they COULD come after you and claim you owe the money. I'd be writing a tracked and signed for letter to their registered address, rather than just hoping they wont come after you.

That would not be acceptable to deaf or hard of hearing customers. A non-discriminatory alternative (eg email) should be available,

I blocked the card transaction in my banking app, they tried to take payments for 3 months then cancelled the account automatically.

I think they have CC details, so hard to cancel.

If I write to them and track it and they still take the cash what should I do?

Yes, it is the Co mentioned and it seems they have history with this sort of thing.

I don't know any better, but he said "cancel it online" not cancel it via email.

Contact your card provider, tell them what you need and that you withdraw your permission for any payment to said outfit.

I think you need to play their game on the phone from what I’ve heard from others.

Pretty sure that when I cancelled their subscription the only option was to phone them.

Went round in circles with them telling me that I x amount of points I could use to get money off and would I like a discount on my next box. Had to be quite firm with them in the end to get it though to them that I didn't want another box! Also you can only use a max of half your points in one go to get any discount so that was no use to me either as I just wanted shot of them.
