Unable to cancel Recurring credit card payments

Wont go into details, but it is my fault. I'm unable to cancel several recurring payments on my card - Lost the account information over time and now its being a hassle to cancel them.

What I want to know is, if i report my card as lost or stolen, will that cancel all payments or will they carry on as normal? I'm starting to get a bit stressed out about it I'm really trying to make an effort to be debt free and its really not helping.

Thanks (and hello btw)

  • When you do a "lost/stolen", all that happens is your current card gets blocked and all the details, including all transactions and subscriptions, get transferred to your new card. Your account would still be linked to the old "lost/stolen" card, so any call for funds would still be directed towards your account.
