I have been caught by the Fileserve Auto Renewal scam for the last three months and could find no way to opt out on their website.
So I followed the suggestions above and first sent an email to support@egatepay.com with the following wording....
Dear Sirs,
A company called Fileserve which uses your Visa Gateway is illegally deducting monthly payments of $9.99 USD from my Visa Card Account.
I have asked them to stop but they don't answer emails.
Would you please prevent Fileserve from making any further deductions from my Visa Card account?
The last four digits of my Visa account are XXXX.
The email address which I used with Fileserve is XX@XXXX.com
Thankyou, etc
Their reply came back in about 6 hours....

I also sent an email to customercare@fileserve.com asking them to stop making monthly deductions to my Visa card and pay me back for the 2 months of charges I didn't authorise.
Here's there reply which came back in 7 hours...
From: "Fileserve Support"<customercare@fileserve.com>
To: XX@XXXX.com
Subject:False billing
Mr XX,
We are sorry for the long wait. Further charges on your Credit Card has already been cancelled from our side.
Please be noted that if there are charges prior to this date of our confirmation, it will be/has been added accordingly into your fileserve account.
Thank you for using Fileserve!
We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If not, please do not send another email. Instead, reply to this email directly.
So with help from everyone above it looks like I've stopped the Fileserve auto renewal although they are not going to pay back what they have stolen.
I have also asked my bank to dispute the Visa card transactions that were illegally billed by Fileserve. This process can take up to six weeks.
In the meantime I will never use Fileserve again and encourage others to follow suit.
