If you don't get anywhere with the company, or just don't feel like talking them, you complain to your bank. I had to do this recently. It took all of 3 minutes to get my money back with no questions asked other than "did you authorise it?" and to get a block put on my account to stop that company ever taking money again.
This costs the company money and a lot of paperwork, so the threat of doing it is often enough to get them to sort themselves out.
- dredmorbius 14y agoThat's generally not how automatic debit payments work in the US. Too: even when getting a direct deposit authorization for an account, you are almost always (US) also allowing withdrawals from your account, in the event the depositor claims they made a deposit in error. Increasingly, banks seem less secure and more porous when it comes to holding my money.
