    Hi,

    mods please move this somewhere else id needed.

    I have been charged 20 quid every week/2 weeks on my permanent tsb account. The charge states payzone POS but I have not used this service at all. Has it happened to anybody else? It totals 120 quid overall. Will contact bank tomorrow

    If the payments are not to a fixed schedule then you are probably being billed to top up an account linked to a service like parkingtag or a toll tag.

    PayZone process payments for loads of things. M50/Mobile TopUp/PrePaid Gas or Electricity/Refuse Collection/Parking etc.

    Just read this again and noticed that it's a 'POS' (point of sale) transaction.....

    Is it possible that someone in your house is 'borrowing' your debit card and nipping down to the local Spar to top up a mobile phone? If it's a contactless card then they wouldn't need the PIN as the amounts are under €30.
