GEMS - Typical Government's useless administration

My daughter app**** to become a member. Before they actually approved her membership, she informed them that she is not interested and requested them to cancel the application. GEMS ignored the request and continued with the application which was approved. After numerous correspondence to and fro, GEMS still insisted that the 1st payment needs to go through. We stand on our rights to cancel within the "cool down" period and request that the monies be paid back.? Since February 2018 we have been talking to machines and we are no further, Even the ombudsman is dragging their feet in resolving the matter.
