PDF Guru Unathourised Charge Of My Account

11

I am writing to raise a complaint against PDF Guru regarding an unauthorised charge on my account. On 19 August 2026 I used PDF Guru’s service once to resize a PDF document and paid R19,60 for that single use. I did not knowingly subscribe to any ongoing or recurring service, nor did I authorise any further deductions beyond that once‑off payment. Despite this, on 26 August 2026 an amount of R802.40 was charged on my account as a “Recurring Card Purchase” with the description “Sa_support.pdfguru.com Nicosia”. This transaction is pending on my bank account, and I have proof of both the original R19,60 payment and the R802.40 charge that I did not authorise. I kindly request a full refund of the R802.40 and the immediate cancellation of any subscription or recurring payment that may have been started on my account without my clear consent. I also ask for written confirmation that no further charges will be made to my card. If this matter is not resolved promptly and the refund is not processed, I will have to escalate the issue further with my bank and the relevant consumer protection channels.
