Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

I authorized a payment of $200 to a collection agency on 5/27. Today 7/7 they took another $200 out of my account and said it was "per my authorization". I never authorized any payment but the initial $200. I've contacted my bank and filed a claim. I called the agency and got screamed at. What should I do? I know I only authorized one $200 payment.

Never give out your bank account info to collection agencies. Now you'll have to close the account.

Close your bank account and go to another bank.

Never ever give your bank account information to a collection agency.
