If they don't respond reasonably quickly, you can consider contacting the bank and asking them to charge back the bills. Of course that only works if you can legitimately cancel; if these are recurring payments on a legitimate debt you can't charge them back and need to pay off yat obligation. | |

Just because you replace your card, all your bills are still attached to you, so there's no reason for the subscription side of things to break, and they don't anymore. It is an expected behavior; don't get a new card to break subscriptions, because they don't. | |

They do NOT (not supposed to) have any of your banking/CC details at all. When they charge that subscription code, the payment processor works out the actual charge. They have no problems linking it back to your new card at all. This is almost universally standard due to PCI compliance, so it really is the exception that the subscription breaks if you change your card, and not the norm. | |

Another thing to consider - Microsoft may block or disable your account. Even if you don't use the Office subscription, you may lose access to other features if you just trigger chargebacks and failed payments. Try to call Microsoft to figure it out | |
