Banks can sometimes amaze me with their stupidity. Several years ago I canceled a hosting account I had with a company. Each month they continued to bill me, but never for the same amount. It was always for between $45 and $85. The name they billed under was different than normal. The first month I assumed I bought something I didn't remember buying. The second month I knew something was wrong and went to the bank. When I told them I didn't authorize the charges they had me fill out a dispute form and eventually found in my favor and refunded the money. The third month it still was happening. With the banks help I find out who is doing the charges and I contact the host but they never get back to me (they have long since been out of business) The bank won't block the charges. When I ask them why they tell me, "you authorized them." I tell them I didn't and they actually said, "You must have because they are being charged to your account." WTF? So each month I filed a dispute and each moth they found for me and refunded the money, but never did stop the charges, eventually I just closed the account and switched banks.
