Competition Sites

I am a 74 year old retired ex Bank employee
I enjoy doing all sorts of competitions, crosswords etc on line.
I have recently had problems with renewing subscriptions and on a check of my direct debits and standing orders for the past year have found a couple of odd payments
I use Coffee Break Winner on a daily basis on have been a member for some time.
The system has always worked fine and I have good access to the daily competitions.
I had a problem this week with another competition website I
use Compers News
I had to phone them and there had been a membership “hiccup”
at their end. Thesy are processed by Accolade Publishing
The magazine I get from Compers News is fine but my on line access was being blocked “access denied”
This has now all been sorted
But I had to look back at my bank statements for the bank year to check the direct debits and standing orders that have gone through.
My Oxfordshire Press (Coffee Break Winner) annual payment of £49 was processed on 21/10 ref: 4Dhs4KE this is a new direct debit payment I was asked to set up over the phone.
I am trying to get details of a payment made on 26/9 ref:029442 this is also for £49 with details showing payment to Winning Streak. This has been taken from my account for many years
There is a further payment which is also worrying me
4/4 £39.90 to Everyone’s a Winner ref:000973. This has also been taken from my account for many years.
Are you able to provide me with any help
I have tried to google both Everyone’s a Winner and Winning Streak but cannot find any reference to either of them.
Do they still exist
Your site competition assistance is most helpful

If you do not recognise or use the services these direct debits relate to ask your bank to stop the dd2
