You bumped into a little known "hitch" when giving authorization to assign payments to your credit card. Once you have done so, you cannot take away the authorization ....only the organization to whom you've assigned the right can do so. That has not been my experience. I have canceled automatic credit card payments with more than one organization without having to cancel the card itself. Of course, it might vary with other businesses. I think that you misunderstood. You and Ryck have said the same thing. When I called the bank that issued the credit card, they told me that only the organization (i.e. the Kingston Freeman) could cancel automatic payments. The bank itself could not. Therefore, my best recourse was to cancel the credit card.
