Absolutely shocking!!!

Absolutely shocking!!!! Been taking £10 per month from my account for a service i havent used for months and cant seem to cancel it. I have tried to use their online chat service etc and it always mysteriously disappears or stops working! Doesnt even recognise my number that they charge for!!! A disgrace that this company is allowed to operate!

Dear Carylann,

We’re very sorry for the repeated £10 monthly charges and the difficulties you’ve experienced trying to cancel the service. We understand how frustrating it is to be charged for a service you have not used, particularly when the online chat has not provided a reliable way to resolve the issue.

We also apologise that your number is not being recognised when you try to manage the service.

Please share your Lyca Mobile number, details or screenshot of error message with us so we can investigate the recurring charges and assist you further.
