Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

Unathorized debit withdrawal by corporation

I allowed a friend of mine to use my debit card to make a one time payment for deposit for satelitte service. I actually gave the rep that was helping him the debit card information and was never advised anything other than the fact that $50.00 would be withdrawn from my account at that time. Months later I found that $973 had been withdrawn by that company from my account and have since then been told that they could refund the money (a process which they have told me many times was complete and I still do not have the refund) but that any fees accrued from my bank would be my responsibility or that of my friends, since he signed a contract with them. I feel as though that is not right since I did not sign anything with them and was not advised that my accoutn information could be used if that person defaulted. If I had been I would not have given the company my information. Do I have any kind of legal recourse? This has been very stressful for me and I feel like the company does not really feel as though they have to provide me any type of service because I am not a customer. I am a single mother of twins and having nearly $1,000.00 taken from me has put me in a real bind. Thank you for any help that you can provide.
