    I would get onto your card company pronto! That is London Borough of Islington. I would be disputing that if you live in Northern Ireland!

    Maybe your car reg has been cloned and it's a parking fine as ejones suggested - but then, how would they get your bank details? I would call call bank to check who it is and then call the merchant.

    If you verify the payment isn't valid then one of them has made a mistake!

    Most likely, someone's nicked your card details and used it to pay a parking fine.

    Call your bank.
