Unauthorized Bank Withdrawal After Contract Renewal on New Box

Up until my recent move, I have had directv for 7 years. I had two cable boxes in my home, one that I got originally when I signed up for Directv and another one I purchased several years later (Tivo Box). My original box was faulty and last year I called to ask for a replacement box and I asked if I could replace it with a Tivo box. They said no problem and I received it several weeks later and someone came and installed it. Many months later due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to move and since Comcast's bundle deal was a better deal, I switched. A few weeks after I canceled my services I was charged over 200$ which without my permission was taken out of my bank account, which consequently made me bounce a few checks. I called directv in outrage and their response was that I had signed an agreement when I received my new box for another two years of service and that they were allowed to take out that money out of my account. For the whole 7 years that I have had Directv no one ever mentioned that what I was signing was a contract and since when can companies take money out of your account without your permission. They are thieves and I will never again recommend them to anyone!
