Crap! Why does this keep happening?

So, today I found out I got charged $84 for some stupid internet store charge that I didn't even know about! I e-mailed the company that I wanted a refund immediately, since I thought I canceled my account, and I hope that they put that shit back on!
I keep telling myself that I'm done screwing myself over, then this happens.
Does anyone know if I could call the bank to dispute it if they the company says no?
If you cancelled your account, and they're still charging you, then yes, it's considered a fraudulent charge. You do have to contact the company first and request a refund, and if they refuse, then you should contact your bank. Good luck.
Nevermind. I called and they refunded the charge back to my account. I didn't even have to be a bitch! ;)b
I hate how drama queen-ish I always sound. I guess I'm still not used to being on a non teenager dominated forum. But money crap is the number one way to freak me out.
Uhhh, making a fuss over $84 and possibly credit card fraud is not drama queen, it's good sense! I had a $9 charge when my wallet was stolen a couple weeks ago (the only charge, VERY LUCKILY, because my wallet was only gone for 10-15 mins before I noticed) and I even disputed that. It's not that I can't afford $9 for some asshole's meal at MacDonald's (how FITTING that they're gonna use the vegan's card at MacDo, no??), it's the principle of the matter- this is why we carry credit cards, for the "insurance," right?
Freak show!! Mickey D's takes VISA, now??? :P ::)
Not only do they sell you cholesterol on a bun, you can now pay interest on the price!!
