The OP is already banned? Whats the issue in cancelling a charge you cannot use?
Google has a degree of seperation value stored on every account. Once the algorithm determines its been wronged it increases the radius so expect your household members and work colleagues accounts to be at risk when you try this.

#32Easy fix, wait for the next billing, contact the bank explaining what happened, and block that and future debits. At least in Australia, this shouldn't be a problem.
I contacted TM Bank and they would't let me do this.

I some countries, however, this may penalize you, credit score wise or whatever. This option, in my opinion, should truly be the last resource, after exhausting (and documenting) every other route. Very important: public routes, like Twitter Support, even better (make sure every step is traceable if the only option left is, indeed, blocking debts on your credit card).

bullshit - canceling the authorization will have no affect on your account at all, the subscription will just end.
I agree there may be no other option, I'm just warning to be ready and prepare for the possible loss of "connected" (in Google eyes) accounts.

Had similar experience. My best guess is that the account never went through the various age verification flows (since it was that old, it predated all that) and ended up being marked for deletion- I suspect that they had a bug (legal or in code) that prevented warning emails to get out. I got lucky to detect it early, since they disabled AI a few weeks before account deletion.
My gmail account still has the "First off, welcome. And thanks for agreeing to help us test Gmail." mail in it from June 2004. The account itself is over 21 years old. I wonder if I'll get forced to age verify myself any time?

I thought exactly the same! My question: How/Why were they able to speak to a human (or maybe chat/email)?
Last year our bakery business got blocked from Google Maps. Reason: Your business is not eligible... Yep, apparently a brick and mortar bakery isn't eligible for Google Maps. Obviously bogus. I appealed over and over again, rereading the rules, watching every dumb YouTube video, fixing every minor imagined transgression I could think of and each time just got another BS automated "your business is not eligible...". P…

#40500000000th person discovers google is not creating youtube for you, but for them to make cash. Crazy story. Really shocking and definitely not one of the most standard complaints in existence. Anyways, there's absolutely no such thing as "I can't stop paying for this". Just do a chargeback on your card. It's not a real problem.
