Unauthorized card payment

I had a subscription with another party and 3 months ago I canceled the subscription so now past week a deduction was made on my account, my concern is Firstly my account had zero rands but a deduction of card payment was done, how is that possible secondly I deactivated my card for any purchases yet a transaction on it went through of R650 putting my account in a negative. How possible is that Standard bank? Is our money and information safe? I logged a call which is dragging even now, no feedback or anything. The reference number i received is ***. Please i need resolution on this, let's not lose trust

Still haven't received any solution except for the in and out emails prolonging the query, i still don't understand how can a card transaction go through whereas my account was at R0.00 which left me on a minus with charges and again I deactivated my card for online purchases yet transaction went through, please explain that to me Standard Bank.
