You have to check the box before leaving the payment page. If you recall Rogers got in a whole lot of trouble for negative billing. You must authorize autopay.

@darlicious et al. I think autopay is the default when a new account is opened with a credit/debit card.

When you activated your services did you pay with your banks credit/debit card? There is a prompt that encourages you to sign up for autopay by checking the box. Go to your transaction history and look for a $2 autopay reward credit dated on or the day following your activation. If you see this then you did check the box and sign up for autopay during your activation.
Autopay is not the same as preauthorized payments like other providers encourage you to set up. Autopay only allows a one time attempt at payment of any outstanding plan amount to renew your plan for the next 30 days. All other transaction charges for top up payments can only be authorized and manually entered by you thru your self serve account or thru the 611/IVR system after entering your 4 digit pin #.
If for some reason your account shows you are not registered for autopay and you have not recieved the initial autopay reward credit nor the autopay reward on your last renewal or the 500mb autopay data bonus then contact customer service to suspend your current plan services, remove the card from autopay and refund your plan amount back the card you have on file.
It couldn't hurt to have them open a ticket with the tech team to investigate how autopay was triggered without previous registration as this would be the first instance I have heard of this issue.

PM payment system does not take fund directly from your bank account. How PM server know about your bank account details to take fund from your bank account.
But PM autopay accepts debit VISA card to get fund from your bank account indirectly. But you said that you did not signup for autopay.
Please provide more details.

Does bottom of main page say you are registered to Dynamic Auto Pay?
If Yes
Go to make payments and remove card or leave card there and remove auto pay
And How do you remove autopay?

Did you ever provide your credit card to PM?
Credit card charges are not the same as 'money from bank account''.
To my understanding if you are not on autopay, PM will not touch your CC at all so you would have to load funds into your account before renewal day manually.

@Imangrynow
Who activated the SIM?
Remember once you cancel AutoPay, your free bonus data will be removed too.

Except public mobile does not do auto pay from bank accounts, @Imangrynow
Can you confirm you do not mean a credit card or Visa debit?
If you are talking about a bank or checking account, it likely isn’t a public mobile charge for your mobile service.
