Strange direct debit

Good morning!

£121.00 was debited from my bank account.
I do not know where is this for.
The description on the bank statement was only BILLS
Does anyone have a clue who took the money?
Thanks

    Does your statement not show a sort code/account number the amount was paid to? If so, you could google that.
    Alternatively, call your bank and ask for details.

    What does your bank say it is when you ask them?

    No point asking us. A 5 minute call to the bank will tell you as the reference number will match one of the mandates. Indeed, if you have online banking, the reference number on the "bills" entry should match one of your direct debits.
