About BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd
BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd is an Australian proprietary company registered in the Australian Capital Territory. Public ASIC notices show that it traded as “Pepper Lunch Canberra Civic Shop,” operating a Pepper Lunch franchise restaurant in Canberra’s city centre, offering casual dine‑in meals and takeaway orders. The company was ordered into liquidation on 29 April 2022, and a court‑appointed liquidator from RSM Australia Partners is now responsible for handling its remaining affairs, including creditor enquiries.([publishednotices.asic.gov.au](https://publishednotices.asic.gov.au/browsesearch-notices/notice-details/BBSJ-Partners-Pty-Ltd-In-Liquidation-602025614/e0ca4419-5f65-4aa3-9022-0212bdfdaf5b?utm_source=openai))
A charge from “BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd” or a similar descriptor on your bank or card statement most likely relates to a purchase made at the Pepper Lunch Canberra Civic restaurant, either for in‑store dining, takeaway, or potentially a phone order that was keyed into the restaurant’s payment terminal. Because this was a hospitality business, charges would typically be one‑off card payments rather than ongoing subscriptions. You might also see small pre‑authorisation holds if a card terminal or EFTPOS system briefly checked your card, or if a transaction was reversed and reprocessed, which can temporarily create duplicate or pending entries that later drop off.
If you’re unsure about a BBSJ Partners charge, start by matching the date and amount to any visit you or a family member may have made to Pepper Lunch in Canberra around that time, including business trips or shared cards. Check for receipts in your email, banking app, or paper records from that visit. Because the company is in liquidation, it no longer operates normal customer service channels; unresolved disputes or suspected fraud should be raised directly with your bank or card issuer, who can investigate or process a chargeback where appropriate. If you are a creditor or believe you have a formal claim against BBSJ Partners, you can contact the liquidator at RSM Australia Partners (Equinox Building 4, Level 2, 70 Kent Street, Deakin ACT 2600, phone +61 2 6217 0333, or the contact email listed in current ASIC notices) for guidance on lodging a claim or obtaining official information about the company.([publishednotices.asic.gov.au](https://publishednotices.asic.gov.au/browsesearch-notices/notice-details/BBSJ-Partners-Pty-Ltd-In-Liquidation-602025614/e0ca4419-5f65-4aa3-9022-0212bdfdaf5b?utm_source=openai))

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd.
Why does my statement show BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd instead of Pepper Lunch Canberra Civic?
BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd is the legal company name that operated the Pepper Lunch Canberra Civic Shop. Card networks often display the underlying company name rather than the trading name, so a restaurant visit may appear as BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd, PEPPER LUNCH CANBERRA, or a combination of both on your statement.([publishednotices.asic.gov.au](https://publishednotices.asic.gov.au/browsesearch-notices/notice-details/BBSJ-Partners-Pty-Ltd-In-Liquidation-602025614/e0ca4419-5f65-4aa3-9022-0212bdfdaf5b?utm_source=openai))
Does BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd offer subscriptions or recurring billing?
No, BBSJ Partners traded as a walk‑in restaurant, so charges would typically be one‑time card payments for food and beverages, not ongoing subscriptions. If you see repeated similar amounts month after month, it may be multiple separate visits, another merchant with a similar name, or potentially a billing error or fraud that your bank should review.([publishednotices.asic.gov.au](https://publishednotices.asic.gov.au/browsesearch-notices/notice-details/BBSJ-Partners-Pty-Ltd-In-Liquidation-602025614/e0ca4419-5f65-4aa3-9022-0212bdfdaf5b?utm_source=openai))
Why am I seeing a small or duplicate pending charge from BBSJ Partners on my card?
Some payment terminals place a temporary pre‑authorisation on your card to verify funds before finalising the actual sale, which can look like a second charge until the hold drops off. In other cases, if a transaction was cancelled and re‑run (for example, after a terminal error), you might see two similar entries, but one should reverse automatically within a few business days. If a duplicate charge remains posted after 5–7 days, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the extra amount.
How can I get a receipt or proof of purchase for a BBSJ Partners (Pepper Lunch Canberra) transaction?
Start by checking your email, banking app, or any paper receipts from the day you visited Pepper Lunch in Canberra, as terminal receipts are usually provided at the time of purchase. Because the company is now in liquidation, it may be difficult to obtain past till receipts directly from the former business; if you need documentation for a dispute, your bank can typically provide a transaction record or copy of the sales slip captured through the card network.([publishednotices.asic.gov.au](https://publishednotices.asic.gov.au/browsesearch-notices/notice-details/BBSJ-Partners-Pty-Ltd-In-Liquidation-602025614/e0ca4419-5f65-4aa3-9022-0212bdfdaf5b?utm_source=openai))
How do I request a refund or dispute a BBSJ Partners charge now that the company is in liquidation?
Since BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd is in court‑ordered liquidation, it no longer processes normal customer refunds. If you believe a charge is incorrect or unauthorised, you should contact your bank or card issuer and ask to dispute the transaction or initiate a chargeback, following their timelines and evidence requirements. If you are owed money as a creditor (for example, under a formal contract), you may lodge a claim with the appointed liquidator at RSM Australia Partners using the details set out in current ASIC notices.([publishednotices.asic.gov.au](https://publishednotices.asic.gov.au/browsesearch-notices/notice-details/BBSJ-Partners-Pty-Ltd-In-Liquidation-602025614/e0ca4419-5f65-4aa3-9022-0212bdfdaf5b?utm_source=openai))
Who can I contact about BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd if I believe I’m a creditor or need official company information?
The Supreme Court of the ACT appointed Jonathon Kingsley Colbran of RSM Australia Partners as liquidator of BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd on 29 April 2022. Creditor enquiries, proofs of debt, and questions about the liquidation process are handled through RSM Australia Partners, Equinox Building 4, Level 2, 70 Kent Street, Deakin ACT 2600, using the phone numbers and email addresses listed in the ASIC notices (for example, contacts such as Hamish Drummond or Joshua Pender in those notices).([publishednotices.asic.gov.au](https://publishednotices.asic.gov.au/browsesearch-notices/notice-details/BBSJ-Partners-Pty-Ltd-In-Liquidation-602025614/e0ca4419-5f65-4aa3-9022-0212bdfdaf5b?utm_source=openai))
What if the BBSJ Partners charge is from Canberra but I’ve never been there?
If the location on your statement suggests Canberra, ACT, and you (and any authorised card users) have never visited or made a remote purchase from Pepper Lunch Canberra, the transaction could be fraudulent or the result of card‑number compromise. In that case, immediately contact your bank or card issuer, report the transaction as unauthorised, ask them to block or replace your card, and follow their process for investigation and possible reimbursement.
Can I still cancel or stop future payments to BBSJ Partners Pty Ltd?
Because BBSJ Partners did not operate subscription services, there should not be any legitimate automatic recurring debits linked to the restaurant. If your card continues to show new BBSJ Partners transactions, treat them as individual charges—ask your bank to block the merchant, cancel the card, and investigate in case your card details are being reused without your consent.
