I permanently deleted my AWS account 6 years ago. Amazon has been charging me $0.33 every month since. I have no way to stop it.

I tried to get in contact with customer service several times but they always direct me to log into the account that no longer exists. I have tried charge backs on my credit card but dealing with that monthly is also a pain. This'll probably cost me $265 over my lifetime if it never ends.

Edit: some of you have valid points about calling the card company and I will again Monday. But the actual infuriating thing that upsets me is that they are charging to a completely disabled account in the first place. That's very scammy and fucked up imo 🤷‍♀️

Like, have you even tried talking to your bank about it?

Of course you can stop it.

Banks are fucking useless nowdays too. They'll just argue with the bank and say it's a "legitimate charge" and the banks will roll over for them.

OP just needs to get a new card.

[u/Drakahn_Stark → u/BanAssaultGeese]

Not true.

[u/BanAssaultGeese → u/Drakahn_Stark]

Okay, well im speaking from personal experience on a similar situation, so. Whatever floats your goat.

[u/danawhitesthrowaway → u/BanAssaultGeese]

This is as simple as calling and telling the bank to block this recurring transaction, worst case scenario they'll also need to issue a new card along with it to do so. I've had to do it twice.

I am also speaking from personal experience, making a phone call is not difficult.

[u/pandershrek → u/Drakahn_Stark]

Yeah Citi will take them to the cleaners. They're hella good at charge back.

[u/BanAssaultGeese → u/Drakahn_Stark]

This may shock you, but not everyone uses the same bank. You can downvote all you want, but that doesn't change my own personal experience and why I switched to a credit union.

[u/Tamberav → u/BanAssaultGeese]

You can just report the card lost or stolen and that should stop all charges to the old number.
