Irregular debit order deduction

GTASA more than 8 years ago sold us a holiday package which was not what we were told or expected In 2016 we cancelled the agreement and requested that the debit order must be cancelled which was not done Our bank returned the debit order unpaid to GTASA in August 2019 This year our bank account was again debited in August 2021 What surprises me is that a debit order can only be cancelled from one side if not done the debit order can carry on indefinite Contacting them is impossible since we are presently residing outside South Africa I am using this forum as a last resort Thank you

This process of cancellation started more than 5 years I spoke many times over the phone Their Idea of cancellation is to pay a lump sum which I was not prepared for especially if you do not make use of the services as well as the fact that when the scheme was offered to us all the facts of the scheme was not made known to us
Since 2016 we have heard nothing and no and the more that 5 years have passed I assumed that the contract was cancelled only to be surprised when the debit order was taken off
Reading through the complaints on this forum I am not the only one with the problem

Please Note That your offer of the cancellation fee is not acceptable especially in light of the fact that the service you sold was done under false pretenses and the fact that we have had this discussion more than 5 years ago as well as the fact that we have had no correspondence from you accept the money to take of the account The two thousand you took off with out even sending a statement or anything proofs my point. I am considering taking this to the financial ombudsman and the consumer council
