I cancelled a monthly subscription box service based in Malta through their app three months ago, and I even received a cancellation confirmation email at the time, but they have continued charging my card every month since. Support keeps saying my cancellation ‘didn’t go through’ on their end.

Continuing to charge a consumer after a documented cancellation is a clear breach of the trader's obligations, and the Consumer Affairs Act, Chapter 378 of the Laws of Malta, entitles you to a refund of any payments taken after your valid cancellation was communicated, regardless of an internal system error on the trader's side. Reply to the company referencing your original cancellation confirmation email with its date, and formally demand a refund of every charge taken since that date plus confirmation that no further charges will be made. If they continue to be unresponsive, dispute the recurring charges with your bank or card issuer, which can often block further payments to that merchant. You can also file a complaint with the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA) about the trader's failure to process cancellations properly, and pursue the outstanding refund through the Consumer Claims Tribunal if needed.

I placed one order on a Maltese online shop and my bank statement shows I was charged twice for the exact same amount on the same day. I only received one item. Customer service keeps saying they will 'look into it' but three weeks have passed with no refund.

I bought a sofa from a Maltese furniture website two weeks ago and paid in full. It has not been delivered yet but I changed my mind and want to cancel the order. The company is saying that because it was custom-coloured, cancellation is not possible. Is that legal?

I ordered a dining table from a shop in Qormi and paid a deposit, with the balance due on delivery. The delivery date has been pushed back three times over three months, each time with a vague excuse. I am starting to think the order was never actually placed. What are my rights?

I joined a gym in Sliema on what I thought was a monthly rolling membership, but three months in I found out the contract actually locks me in for 24 months with a heavy exit fee. Nobody explained this clearly when I signed up at the front desk. Can I get out of it?
