As far as I'm aware I have only ever used the UK site. It is the same Amazon account I have used the whole time.

My Amazon Prime payment has a code next to 'Amazon Prime' on my online bank statement which appears to be unique (alpha/numerical), is it the same code against both payments on yours or are they different?

Victim blaming!

I stopped a payment in 2001..... are you suggesting I need to check my statements to see if the company have re-activated it with out my consent in 2019?

So you saying if that payment started coming out of your bank again you wouldn't notice?

If that is the case that is a serious failing in your financial management and you really need to be more organised. I check every payment that comes out of all my accounts and it really only takes a few minutes per week.

Does the direct debit debit guarantee have all these caveats and time limits in? They must have changed it, then.

You need to be checking your statements regularly, not on the off chance that an old payment has suddenly been "re-activated" but simply to ensure you know what is going on with your account generally.
Advising the OP that she has made a basic financial management error is just the blunt truth, not "victim" blaming.

To me it just sounds like the Amazon account was never cancelled. This could be a Bank or Amazon error, but the time it has taken for the OP to notice is solely down to them. Alternatively, the OP had forgotten all about her Lovefilm account but has simply continued to pay for all these years...

These payment are a CPA (Continuous Payment Authority), not a direct debit. DD rules don't apply here.
