Every month they have been taking out 19.99 out of my bank account and I don't know who they are or how to get rid of it.

Unauthorized charge for 199.95 on my credit card. The vendor on my statement is listed as Capital One Travel - interesting since it was a capital one credit card I guess they thought I wouldn't notice or something. when you call the 800 number, it's answered (by machine) as simple escapes.
