Perhaps a parking App?0

Do you provide sort codes and account numbers to parking apps? I never have.christineperseus said:Perhaps a parking App?
OP its unlikely to be a "scammer", its a pretty high bar that has to be reached for an organisation to be able to set up a direct debit, a random bloke in Nigeria couldnt do it.
The pertinent question has already been asked in the second reply.1 -

If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.0 -
Something to do with Rates & Business, perhaps ?? Do you own/rent a premises that's liable for business rates?0

1. Maybe, Rent & Benefits or Rates & Billing relating to Somerset Council charges.
2. Contact Somerset Council and ask them0 -
It's not the obvious ones: the brown garden bin is paid to Somerset Waste, and council tax is collected under the old sub-authority name (Sedgemoor, Mendip etc...)0

Well spotted. Hopefully this will fully resolve the OP's concerns as and if they come back.
As the strapline will disappear at some stage, here's a screenshot of it
