DatingDirect

Replied to David_2223 @David If that fails (which it probably will), here's how to get a profile removed from dating direct and just about any dating site out there. The trick is to remove everything legitimate in your profile and replace it with spam.

1. Remove absolutely everything meaningful from your profile. Put your age as 120 years old and having 20 kids. Do it over a few days/weeks..

2. Have a picture? Replace that with a big photo of a penis or a viagra pill.

3. Have a description for your profile? Replace that with links to every nasty online pharmacy, casino and porn site you can find.

If they write and complain then at least you've opened up communication with them. Tell them "Oops somebody must have hacked into my account". This works trust me...

Replied to PXS There is no means to cancel your Dating Direct account online. Whether or not this is illegal is for lawyers to decide. You have to call them to cancel your account. This is currently the only way to cancel your Dating Direct subscription. Imagine if you will you have a SKY TV subscription - you cannot cancel this service online - you have to call them. This provides Sky with the opportunity to give you the hard sell as to why you are cancelling your account. Meetic, the owners of Dating Direct follow exactly the same principle. So, it's probably not illegal but it's certainly underhand and frankly, quite unacceptable.

Call this number to cancel your Dating Direct account - 0800-358-0846. It's a freephone number and can be found under the 'My Subscription' page.

You will have the pleasure of speaking to someone in France. I did. He was relatively polite but was non-responsive to my initial request that I wished to cancel my account. Was I happy with the service? Had I created a complete profile? Would I like 3 months membership for the price of one? - were typically the sort of questions I had to fend off before he agreed to cancel my account.

Once cancelled you should receive a confirmation email that your account has been cancelled. I did.

A couple of other things. Prior to calling, ensure you know what your membership number is. This avoids having to go into detail such as explaining who you are, what your Dating Direct screename is etc. Also, ensure you call at least 24 hours before your subscription is automatically renewed.

Once your account has been cancelled you will still have full access to Dating Direct services until the official cancellation date.

Replied to Marc @Marc I very stupidly thought I was doing a mate a favour by paying for her subscription to Dating Direct, what a fool I was! When we wanted to cancel the subscription after 1 month it took 6 months of repeated phone calls, confirmation emails and letters to my bank and still DD continued to take money from my account! I thought this had all ended in November 09, but today I have discovered that they've been at it again and took a 'taster' £1 from my account last week (which I missed) and another £59.97 yesterday. I'm lucky in that my bank have backed me up all the way, but as far as I'm concerned Dating Direct are thieves and even worse they condone memberships from lying, cheating men who are only after one thing!
