Santander Card Direct Debit was taken out of my account

Hi, not done this before, so not sure if I've done it right, but here's my problem....
On the 26th July a 1st payment of £6.90 was taken out of my account, by Santander Cards UK. Then on the 28th August a payment of 15p was taken out of my account. The problem is I don't have a card or account with Santander, or have had any deals with them. I can't trace the £6.90 to see where I spent that amount & who it was with.
Does anyone know of places they have bough stuff from, that as come up on their account as Santander Cards UK?
Just been into my bank & I'm ready to stop the DD, but they said the company can re-active it. So just triple checking before I get the fraud people to look in to it. Thanks
:)

    A lot of store cards are santander (debenhams, B&Q, burtons etc), and other cards are actually issued by santander, such as asda and the paypal mastercard - any new accounts with anything like that?

    There is a table on this link http://www.payplan.com/debt-news/2011/01/20/right-to-offset/ which lists companies associated with santander, but most are store cards.

    It went out as a DD not a debit card payments? I would report it as a fraudulent transaction to the bank and request the funds back under the direct debit guarantee.
