An app has taken £95! Help!

Hi all,

I'm not new here but can't remember my old username! (and have since changed my email address so I was snookered!)

Anyway, please help. I'm new to this 'ere new fangled technology thing and only got myself a contract mobile phone (touch screen 'n' everything!) in January. As such, I'm still learning. However, one thing I am thrifty about and savvy with is spending money and so when I've just seen on my bank account that "MyWeddingApp" has taken £95.00 on 11th May (authorised by a card payment on 9th May apparently - so the statement tells me) I nearly fell off my chair.

I have googled them and certainly have no need for this app, nor have I ever heard of them and certainly didn't download this knowingly. Also the app appears to be a free download anyway according to the website?! And besides, there is no such app on my phone (that I can see trace of anyway). I barely have an "apps" on my phone as I only need it to ring out and make text messages!!

HELP! How can this have been taken from my account when I have no knowledge of this and indeed what can I do about this?

Please, please help as I'm really flustered about this as I'm panicking that its something I've done by mistake (and therefore I may keep making the same mistake!) :(
