    Cancelling a card doesn't cancel a CPA, the Card Updater services gives them the new card number
    I know - I was told there was no CPA set up on the account when the bank checked on their system. All they could see for incoming and outgoing was my monthly direct debit. 
    Dont know if @born_again knows or not... I'm an insurance person not banking but the one time I did touch on card payments the first payment taken went through on our normal merchant code it was only the second payment that switched to the CPA one, I dont know however if something goes on between the two payments or if something more is done with the initial payment to indicate the CPA is coming. It could be the CPA only comes into being on the second payment but this is just speculation 

    At the end of the day, keep your eye on it, if another payment does appear then advise your bank again that you'd told them this was unauthorised 
    I do 👍

    CPA is created on the 1st payment. 

    As OP has cancelation, no more should go through. If they do it will cost the co when chargeback is actioned. Not sure from the posts if CC will have cancelled on system or not.
