Hi there, ramona9, let's see what we can find about this together! 

 

I'm assuming based on everything that you mentioned that she was the team admin of the account, right? 

 

If  you're talking about individual accounts, instead of a Business plan, feel free to correct me. 

 

Provided she is the admin of the account, there's not much that you can do I'm afraid. 

 

We can help you cancel the billing linked to the Team, but when it comes to accessing or closing the account, or removing any members the admin is the one responsible for that. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions!
