I still do not recognise the payment
If you are still not sure where the transaction came from, you should check:
- Whether another account holder made the payment.
- That it’s not a renewed subscription.
- That it’s not an old purchase that has only just gone through.
For more information, see a payment on my account is wrong.
If you cancelled a subscription, but payments are still being taken, we can help. Go to cancelled recurring card payment still being taken.
