scenario where this was charged, please contact us so that we can review the account.

I have successfully closed my Edgars Account, but there are still fees being charged to my account?
The fees charged are because you have additional Value-Added services that were linked to your account when
you applied. These services are not managed by RCS directly and each of them must be cancelled individually.

Edgars Club subscriptions by calling the relevant contact numbers listed.
