No they wont. They (the card company) will simply charge it to the new
card. If the old card had continuous authority on it then this transfers
to the new card unless the mandate was given after the card was stolen.

Alright then just cancel the card full stop and close your account then
get a new one off one of the thousand odd companies that personally
send you an invatation to join every other month.

If you make it clear that you're not going to pay the bloody bill
usually the penny drops with them one way or another.


Same problem. A continuous authority can't be stopped by closing the account (or rather, you can't really close the account while a continuous authority is live on it.) The way to stop it is as per my original suggestion, write to the company, copied to the credit card company, cancelling the continuous authority mandate.

I don't see why cancelling credit card accounts and changing suppliers would be an easier way to deal with it than this anyway.
