Things to check first

There can be a number of explanations for a payment you're unsure about, it may not always be fraudulent. We've added common explanations below.

Often businesses use a different trading name to the one you’d expect to see. If you don’t recognise a payment or transaction on your account try googling it or take a look through these common retailer names

Common retailer names

You should always speak to the retailer first to try to resolve the issue directly with them. If you've contacted the company and still need our support, rather than raise it as fraud, you'll need to dispute the transaction.

Dispute a transaction

Different from a Direct Debit or standing order, this could be a regular payment made from your card (rather than bank account), such as a subscription fee.

Dispute a transaction

Do you share the account with someone? Make sure that it isn't them who made the transaction before proceeding.

Some companies automatically start taking a monthly fee once your free trial period for their service ends. Rather than report this as fraud, you'll need to dispute this transaction
