My loss was only $15 - but it highlighted a problem.  An internet
service provider charged me for access after I had requested my
account scrapped.  I asked my credit card company if I could
'revoke in future' all authorisation from that company, and I was
told I couldn't.  I could only complain about transactions 'after
the fact'.

Call your card centre and ask who you can complain to regards the
transaction, and they should put you onto the correct authority.
(One exists, but I have forgot the details.)

In other words, your car company can charge you as much as they
want - you can only take up the issue after they have billed you.
I notice that all the while its the bank who suffers no
concequence
