Shouldn't it be Royal British Legion if it's a legitimate charity.

Yeah you're right. It is down on the statement as Royal British Legion. I just abbreviated in the post on here, sorry

Wouldn't it be included in the same transaction rather than separately if an organisation were including a charity donation?

Remember Tesco doing a similar thing a few years ago, where they were rounding up people's bills to include a charity donation but not asking customers. That soon stopped following a backlash.

I've just noticed a small £2 card transaction to a charity on my statement. I only made one other transaction that day so I'm wondering if it's one of them where a charity donation has been added on at the point of sale and I've missed it?

Just wondering where I stand legally. I did not press anything to add the donation, the only thing I did was hover my card over the machine after the retailer presented the card machine to me.

Am I able to challenge this, or is it legally my fault for not checking the amount on the machine?

I have the receipt from the purchase and there is no mention of this extra £2 on there.

Have you bought a poppy?
As many sites only take card payments now.
