I am not exactly sure what your question is, but if you gave your debit card information to anyone, you are responsible for any charges which they incurred. If you do not pay them to the bank, you may be prohibited from dealing not only with that bank in the future, but other banks as well. Unpaid charges may also be reported to the credit reporting agencies.
