DESIPTE recieving a fone call from them assureing me no further payments would come out of my account and been told that the account is closed. still fund were been taken out of my account.

    I would right to them and send by recorded delivery and ask for confirmation back that the account has been closed any money taken out that shouldn't have been will be credited. I'd mention in the letter that you are now writing to OfCOM but you don't actually have to at first as this may just be enough to scare them (sending it recorded delivery could give them the impression you're are deadly serious) but if you still don't seem to get anywhere then I would actually involve OfCOM.

    You could contact your bank and tell them to stop v21 taking money from your account.
