Unauthorised charge after one-off purchase

I paid £1.59 on 19/01/26 for what was presented as a one-off will template from LawDistrict UK.I did not agree to or authorise any subscription or recurring payment. Despite this, a further £34.90 was taken from my card on 26/01/26 without my consent.When I logged into my account, the only document visible was the original free will template. There was no clear subscription shown and no additional service corresponding to this charge.For clarity, I have screenshots of my account and transaction history showing this, in case there is any later dispute or change.The matter has been raised with my card provider, who has treated the charge as unauthorised and blocked my card as a precaution. I have also since been informed that the merchant is Spain-based, which was not made clear at the point of purchase.I would advise others to check their card statements carefully after making any payment.When I logged into my account, the only document visible was the original free will template.
