Unrecognised charge on account - from Elmford Ltd?

cristoir

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question in - but I couldn't really see where else to put it.

Basically, I have a charge for £8.89 on my account to "Elmford Ltd", but I haven't a clue who this company and I don't recall paying for anything for that price over the last few weeks (the charge appears on Monday, so I assume it was over the weekend).

I've tried Googling for this company name, but didn't get many helpful results. Does anyone have a clue who these people are?

Thanks for your help,
Chris

Ah, upon further Googling, and with the info that they are Belfast based, I have discovered that ELMFORD LIMITED is in fact...

The franchise owner of my local Spar

Thanks for your help Dizzy. I guess I must have used my card there over the weekend (don't remember doing so).

I know that in the days of sailing ships spars were made of wood - but why does a wood wholesaler own a Spar?

Perhaps they must do their card processing for them on their behalf?

I had a recent one when I used my card at a Burger King in Waterloo station. Burger King did not appear on the name of the details on my card statement, which was a bit silly really.
