My guess is that company was a collection agency? Never give anyone your bank info, or credit card info. If the company was a legitimate company you were doing business with and you did not authorize payment dispute the charge with your credit card company.

If the company you are referring to did not have a permissable purpose the second time, it might not be legal.
