That's standard practice for all cards, it's not just AMEX (I believe the authority is based on the account rather than the card). In the UK, there's no easy way to cancel a recurring payment on a card other than contacting the entity taking the payments. If they refuse, you can complain to the card provider and they will eventually sort it out, but payments will still go through in the meantime.
Moral of the story: Don't let anyone have a recurring payment authorisation on your card.
- felipemnoa 15y agoYou can always close the CC account completely. Not ideal but it will work hard and fast.
- pwaring 15y agoEven if you do, you're still liable for any charges which hit the account after it's been closed, at least according to every closed account letter I've received (in the UK, not sure what the process is in other countries). Plus you can't close an account until the balance is clear.
- felipemnoa 15y agoWow, that's insane. So, I close the account, paid in full. And a 10 days latter I receive a charge of 100 dollars and I still owe it. Would not surprise me if true.
