It is not illegal to authorize money to be taken out of your account and then close the account. However, if the money has been withdrawn and there are outstanding charges or payments, it is your responsibility to settle them even if the account has been closed. It is advisable to communicate with the recipient of the funds to resolve any outstanding issues.
