I have found a few instances where a one-off payment byu VISA debit
over the phone/internet miraculously became a continuous debit
authority. there seems to be little you can do about it.

Tell your bank you didn't authorise a continuous authority and demand
a charge back.

ISTM that an unreasonable onus has already been created by that stage
though.

In my case the bank / card issuer could argue that my agreement to a
continuous charge authority was a condition of the original purchase.
