Question a transaction
I need help with an unrecognised transaction
We know it’s worrying when you’re not sure about something on your account. We’re here to explain how to check what a transaction could be, and how to ask us to investigate.
You can:
I want to cancel a recurring payment
We know it can be hard to keep track of subscriptions and it’s not always clear when you’ll need to pay a recurring fee. We’re here to explain how to cancel.
For example, if:
- You didn’t intend to commit to a recurring subscription
- You’ve cancelled a subscription but it keeps re-starting.
I want to dispute a payment
We know everything doesn’t always go to plan when you shop or deal with businesses. We’re here to help you understand how to try to get your money back.
For example, if:
- You didn’t receive the goods or service
- The goods or service were not as described or counterfeit
- You didn’t receive a refund.
Did you pay using cash, cheque or bank transfer?
If you paid using cash, cheque or bank transfer, unfortunately we can't try to get a refund on your behalf. You can still try to dispute with the seller, or you may be able to make a small claim. Citizens Advice has a help guide on making a small claim.

We cannot dispute a pending transaction on your behalf
Whilst we can look into a pending transaction that you don't recognise or one that's potentially fraudulent, if you recognise a transaction, but there’s a different problem, talk to the company you paid first – if they can’t or won’t put it right, get in touch with us once the payment has gone through.
