  • You must have signed for a continuous authority, have a look at the small print in the order that you placed, What were or are the terms. Having never used a pre paid card, I can see why it would be a big problem. Not sure what can be done though.

    Contact the supplier by some means - the more traceable the better, i.e. in this order of preference:
    1) recorded delivery letter
    2) fax (your phone bill can prove that a fax was sent)
    3) email with received and read receipts requested (you may not get them though)

    to withdraw the authority to use your card account.

    Once they have received that instruction, if they continue to charge your account, take it up with the card issuer because the transactions are clearly without your authority.
