I'll quickly share what happened:
>I helped mother out by paying the down payment on her car
>Used my debit card to do so
>Dealership had me pay on Fair App (an app they use instead of paperwork)
>2 months go by
>I had canceled said debit card and got a new one (Same checking account though)
>I just found out that the Fair App charged me a car payment because my mother was late on her bill.
I've worked out the immediate pragmatic issues already, but how were they able to charge me if the card they had is no longer a valid card. I never gave my exact checking/routing numbers so it doesn't make sense to me. I'd like to understand how that worked so I can avoid things like this in the future when buying someone something. My mother found that my old card was still listed in the app and she deleted it, but I plan on calling my bank and telling them that charges made by that vendor is not authorized by me. I believe that should fix this issue?
I apologize if these seems trivial or common sense, but money is tight and I want to know how this was able to happen on a card that doesn't exist anymore, and in order to prevent further problems.
