Freedom pop stealing money from me

Originally they started taking 2 lots of money from me for 1 sim that was offering 'free' Talk, Text and Data but you had to downgrade before the trial period ended.
I downgraded, but they still took 2 lots of £8.99. I messaged them on Facebook and they refunded me both amounts. I told them to cancel my sim card as I no longer trust them but they insisted I had 2.
After telling them I didn't many times, they agreed it was a system error and that they would make sure everything is cancelled.
I have just noticed 4 months later they are still taking £8.99 a month from me, only the 1 but it still so far amounts to £35.96.
I contacted my bank, and they have sent them a notice of cancellation?
I have been trying to contact freedom pop for a week now and I still am not getting any response, its like they are actually ignoring me.
Who do I contact regarding this? Trading Standards or OFCOM?
Kind regards

I managed to find a number on the internet for them, to be honest there was a major communication issue as I could hardly understand what she was saying, but the gist of it was that my account hadn't been cancelled so I was still liable for the charges.
I told her I had proof that they told me it was cancelled, so she said she would downgrade my account... told her I didn't want it downgraded that i just wanted it cancelled.
She kept repeating herself that it was my fault for not cancelling.. got very annoying.
In the end she said "I've given you a £35.96 refund, have a good day" and hung up on me.
Terrible customer service, would NOT recommend.0 -
This is the network that can't even provide a simple tariff sheet detailing its offers.
Best completely avoided.0 -
