I too have had the same problem (Jhb, SA) - I signed up for a ONE MONTH TRIAL period, after which I deregistered (which they make very difficult to find/do) - and I am still being deducted every month! I have tried to email them and the IDIOT on the other end says she cannot cancel it with my name or email, that I must provide a number which appears on "ANY" correspondance. The woman IS corresponding with me and tells me that. These people are STUPID, INCOMPETENT and STEALING.
I will change my bank account as I have been told you cannot stop someone from taking money if you gave them your details, which is utterly PATHETIC of the bank. So you can give someone your bank number for something and it means they can legally deduct any amount of money? ###.
This Global Personals Co should be shut down for stealing! It seems thier name pops up everywhere for this exact complaint. And they just tell everyone - sorry - tough luck?
Wecome the police, lawyers, ombudsman - whatever it takes to get these people properly investigated!
