How many more times are you going to let them take money from your account before you do anything about it?
First, open another account at another bank. Put your money in the new account. Do not put any more money in your old account and do not write any more checks on the old account but leave it open for now.
Then find your last statement from your old (current) account. Find the address where you must write to dispute the charges on the account. Send a letter by certified mail to the bank stating that you did not authorize the withdrawals. They may ask you to sign a sworn statement (they will provide it). You may be able to recover some of your money.
The problem is that you admit that you let them take money from your account "5-6 times each month" which implies that they had your permission to do so. Good luck.
