There appears to be a week's grace before it attracts a charge, @moorlander:

https://help-centre.talktalk.co.uk/Telephone/Telephone_security/How_to_use_CallSafe

However, several customers have found it difficult to remove from My Account. 

Some do not even have it listed in My Account but found it mysteriously active as it still appeared to screen calls. 

I would ask Chat to remove this for you during opening hours on Sunday. Forum staff can then verify that it has definitely been removed when they pick up your topic after the weekend. 

Check the opening hours for Chat on this page:

The actual Chat button was near the bottom of the page, rather than at the top, the last time I checked.
