About The Fam (QLD) Pty Ltd

The Fam (QLD) Pty Ltd was an Australian private company registered in Queensland under ABN 44 120 021 605 and is now recorded as cancelled/deregistered for ABN purposes. Public business registers list the company’s address in the 4123 QLD area but do not clearly describe its trading industry, brand name, or a current website or phone number. This usually means it operated as a small or local business (for example, hospitality, retail, services, or events) and may have traded under a different shop or brand name that appeared on receipts, while the legal name “The Fam (QLD) Pty Ltd” is what shows on card and bank records.

A charge from “THE FAM (QLD) PTY LTD” (or similar wording) may appear on your bank or card statement if you made a purchase with a business in Queensland that used this company as its merchant of record. This could include one‑time in‑store or online purchases, phone orders, or payments taken on a mobile EFTPOS terminal in or around Brisbane/Ipswich/Logan. Less commonly, it could relate to a recurring arrangement such as a membership, subscription, or installment plan set up before the company’s deregistration; in those cases, billing can sometimes continue to show the historic legal entity name even if the underlying business structure has since changed or been taken over by another operator.

If you’re unsure about a charge from The Fam (QLD) Pty Ltd, first check your email for receipts around the transaction date, as well as any text messages, booking confirmations, or order histories from businesses you visited in Queensland. Compare the posted date, amount, and location in your banking app with where you were that day (maps timeline, calendar events, ride‑share or food‑delivery history) and ask any family members on the same card whether they made the purchase. If you still can’t identify it, contact your bank or card issuer using the number on the back of your card; they can often see extra merchant information (such as terminal ID or address) and, if necessary, help you dispute the transaction or block future charges. Because public records show no active website or support contact for this company, working through your bank is typically the most effective way to resolve questions about this charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I seeing a charge from THE FAM (QLD) PTY LTD if the company is deregistered?

Business and ABN records often lag behind how card networks display merchant names, so you may still see “THE FAM (QLD) PTY LTD” on statements even after the company’s ABN is cancelled. In practice, the charge usually reflects a real‑world purchase you made with a local Queensland business that still uses this legal entity or an inherited merchant account as its billing descriptor. Your bank can often view more detailed merchant information (such as the physical terminal location) to help you match it to a specific shop or service.

What kinds of purchases typically show up under THE FAM (QLD) PTY LTD on my statement?

Because public records do not specify the industry for The Fam (QLD) Pty Ltd, the descriptor may be used for a range of small‑business transactions, such as a local café or restaurant, retail store, personal services, or event‑related purchases in Queensland. Many cardholders discover it relates to a same‑day, in‑person card payment on a mobile EFTPOS terminal where the brand name on the receipt differs from the legal company name on the bank statement. Reviewing where you were on the transaction date and any receipts from Queensland businesses is the best way to identify the specific purchase.

Does The Fam (QLD) Pty Ltd offer subscriptions or recurring billing?

There is no public indication that The Fam (QLD) Pty Ltd ran a major subscription‑based service, but any small business can set up recurring card payments (for example, for memberships, lessons, or ongoing services). If you see this merchant name appear monthly or on a regular schedule, it may be tied to a membership or service plan you agreed to previously. Check any recurring services you use in Queensland—such as gyms, clubs, classes, or local service providers—and log into their customer portals or review your original sign‑up paperwork for billing details.

How can I cancel ongoing charges that appear as THE FAM (QLD) PTY LTD?

First, identify which business or service the charge actually corresponds to by checking receipts, email confirmations, and any contracts or sign‑up forms you completed with Queensland‑based providers. Once you know the underlying business, contact them directly to cancel your membership, subscription, or standing authorization and request written confirmation by email. If you cannot determine who is billing you or the business is unresponsive, ask your bank or card issuer to block future payments to this merchant descriptor and, where appropriate, raise a dispute for unauthorized or continued charges after cancellation.

How do I request a refund for a charge from THE FAM (QLD) PTY LTD?

Refunds must usually be handled by the business that processed your card, even if your statement only shows the legal name The Fam (QLD) Pty Ltd. Try to match the charge to a specific visit or order, then contact that business directly with your receipt, the last four digits of your card, and the transaction date and amount so they can locate it in their system and process a refund. If you cannot identify the business or believe the transaction is fraudulent, contact your bank promptly—most card networks have time limits for chargebacks, and your bank can advise on your eligibility and next steps.

Are small or duplicate charges from THE FAM (QLD) PTY LTD authorization holds?

Some merchants run small pre‑authorization checks—such as low‑value or duplicate amounts—to verify that your card is valid before finalizing a higher‑value purchase. These authorizations often show as pending in your banking app and should either drop off or be replaced by a single finalized transaction within a few business days. If a small or duplicate amount remains posted long‑term, save screenshots and contact your bank to investigate and, if needed, dispute the extra charge.

What should I do if I don’t recognize any activity in Queensland but see this charge?

Start by confirming that no one else on your account or card (spouse, child, or other authorized user) made a purchase while traveling or ordering from a Queensland‑based business online. If everyone on the account denies the transaction and you have not recently been in Australia or purchased from an Australian merchant, treat it as potentially unauthorized: lock your card through your banking app (if available) and call your bank immediately. They can cancel the card, investigate the transaction in detail, and issue a replacement card or provisional credit as appropriate.
