Unfortunately you can't.  It's still her account and only she can perform major changes such as cancellation  - even if you're paying for it...

Thank you so much for your help . I think my only choice will be to let the account close and start my own. Thanks again

Not sure what you mean by 'close'...  Ideally the account holder has to give notice to cancel.  Of course, it's not your account so any debt collection etc. won't be in your name.

 

You will find it difficult to keep your phone number if that's important.

It would appear my only choice is to stop payment . The ex isn't even in the country so I'm a bit snookered
