Suspicious transaction

Options
Hi all,
I'm not sure where to go with this so I thought I'd ask here first. I just checked my HSBC account online and there appears to be a direct debit for over £70 that I have no idea what for, how can I find out? It may well be something I have completely forgotten about but I just would like to find out.
The transaction "tilte" just is not descriptive enough.

Any help much appreciated

    Have you asked your bank? They can identify the company from the originator code on the DD.

    I tried Google'ing on behalf of the OP but as the name is so close to 'title', it yielded irrelevant results.

    HSBC should be able to tell the OP but could also check the list of Direct Debits set up in HSBC's Internet Banking site.

    OP will need that little red HSBC version Pinsentry calculator thingy and be registered for online banking though.

    I thought the OP had just transposed letters in his original post ie tilte and meant 'title' of the DD.

    Maybe your right, but its an expensive coffee/cake :rotfl:

    Can not OP just click on his list of direct debits in internet banking and see if there is more information there?

    its not uncommon for a company to process payments under another name.

    a shop i buy clothes at is called one thing but processes payments via their trading company name.

    in my experience scammers dont tend to setup dds they process multiple transactions to clear your account of money.

    if you are worried call your bank as their fraud dept can check it out for you.
