in Credit cards
I've just checked my card card statement online with MBNA and I have 2 transactions on my account taken from 'Dummy Merchant Worksop'.
I really can't think what this is
- does anyone have any ideas, just a bit worried incase it's something dodgy.

Just worked out what it was, I used my card twice in my new local Wilkinsons store so they must not have their stuff set up correctly so that must be why it says Dummy Merchant.
Phew0 -

I've just spent 15 mins on phone arguing with the bank that I didn't know what the "dummy merchant" withdrawal from my account was. After 'googling' it and clicking through to here, well let's just say I'm from Wishaw and it was definately me ! Oops !Started the new centuary £18,000 in debt : July 2008 we're now DEBT FREE (apart from the mortgage!) :j
2011 Update: Taken a car on finance - first serious credit commitment in a long time but as were more financially secure than in the past it was a calculated risk - 4 years and counting !0
