There are a number of online retailers who keep your credit card details attached to your account.

I'll take that one further. I cancelled my Vodafone [corporate] account and discovered 6 months later they were still debiting my credit card because in their system they had just changed the name of the account owner, but not the payment method.

Anyhoo, when I complained they told me the only way to remove my CC details from their system was to log back in to the portal and manually remove them as they could not do it over the phone....the portal I had no access to since I had cancelled my account.

Yeah I got pretty mad. Lucky I had left my previous employer on good terms as I had to get reimbursed by them not by Vodafone who just washed their hands of it.

Sorry off topic a little....ummm, it involved a password somewhere though.
