Hello there,
You can ask your bank to remove any authority that you may have given them to take a card payment. As the others have said, the 14 day cooling off period is mandatory. Do consider going through our online, self-help system My Money Steps - as it can make recommendations about the best way forward. If a Debt Management Plan is the right option for you - you can do it for free.
Here are some useful links for you:

Very best wishes,
David @ National Debtline.We work as money advisers for National Debtline and have specific permission from MSE to post to try to help those in debt.

...........and don't ever give any personal bank details to anyone, over the phone, ever again
.
I know these people can be very persuasive, after all its there job to make money from you, but in future, always hang up, never deal with anything to do with debt over the phone, all to easy to get into something you didn't want too !!
