another reason to dislike Recurring charges (none / 0) (#8)
by Anonymous User on Fri Mar 21, 2008 at 06:18:29 AM PDT

I don't know if this experience is typical or not. I had a credit card a few years (don't remember if it was VISA or MC) that I had previously canceled thru the issuing bank. Months after that cancelation, I get a bill for a $15 charge from a company I had no dealings with. Naturally I contested. I called the bank and told them that the card had been canceled for some time and that I had not authorized the charge and I was contesting the charge. At that time the person on the phone from the bank said that the charge would be removed but if it was a recurring (monthly or yearly) charge I would have to contest each charge. Seemed to make no difference that the card was canceled or not. Good news is it wasn't a recurring charge.
