Stopping a card payment
You can tell the card issuer by phone, email or letter. Your card issuer has no right to insist that you ask the company taking the payment first. They have to stop the payments if you ask them to. If you ask to stop a payment, the card issuer should investigate each case on its own merit.
First, notify the vendor. Next, tell your bank about your request at least three business days before the money is scheduled to be transferred. Your notice to the bank may be oral, but the institution may require you to provide a written follow-up within 14 days to ensure that no additional payments are made.
If a recurring payment has already received authorization it will be processed and paid. However, if a recurring payment has not received authorization and is activated while your debit card is turned off, the recurring payment will be declined.
Even if you have not revoked your authorization with the company, you can stop an automatic payment from being charged to your account by giving your bank a "stop payment order" . This instructs your bank to stop allowing the company to take payments from your account.

A credit freeze, also known as a lock, is a convenient way to prevent your credit card from being used without the need to report it as lost or stolen. In most cases, you can freeze a card directly on a credit card company's website or app.
If your phone or ATM card is stolen, or you suspect that fraudsters might be tampering with your account, you can block your bank account from debit transaction with a mobile phone. This is done simply by dialing the bank code on your phone. Instantly, you will be required to type in your account number and name.
Contact the Vendor
Write to the vendor that's charging your card and request an end to your service or subscription. Ask for a response in writing. Send your letter by certified mail stating that you want no further money taken from your credit card account once any notice of termination period has expired.
In case of loss or any unauthorised transaction, customers can visit their nearest bank premises and seek bank officials' assistance to block a debit/credit card.
Your card issuer is not able to alter a transaction until it's finished, making cancelling a pending one a bit tricky. Your best bet is to contact the merchant who placed the charge, so they can contact your card issuer and request the transaction be reversed.
Online Mode
A cardholder can use the mobile app or net banking portal of the card-issuing bank to block the card.
Canceling a pending transaction usually requires contacting the merchant who made the charge. Once a pending transaction has posted, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute it.
Most banks will let you cancel a payment online, but you may also contact your bank for assistance.
Straight from your mobile device or online Visa account, you can set parameters to block certain types of purchases—such as online or international transactions, or ATM withdrawals—with a touch of a button. Account holders can set spending limits and receive alerts on transaction amounts that exceed those limits.
No. Any pending transactions that have already received authorization will be processed and paid.
To stop payment, you need to notify your bank at least three business days before the transaction is scheduled to be made and your bank may charge a fee. The notice to stop the transaction may be made orally or in writing. A bank can require written confirmation of an oral stop payment request.
No billing without permission
Credit cardholders should be reassured first of all that nobody can charge your card without your permission. They need to get your authorization first. This holds true whether you are paying in a mobile transaction or any other online “card not present” mode.
If someone takes your credit card and uses it without permission, that's considered fraud. It doesn't matter whether they're family, a friend, or a complete stranger. Legally, you can only be held liable for $50, as per the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA).
Every valid block comprises a series of transactions authenticated with the block. For instance, in the case of bitcoin, each valid block encompasses an average of 2000 transactions. Therefore, each transaction within the valid block turns into a verified transaction.
