Does anyone know who Actitech are and why they took unauthorised money from my Paypal? Is it possibly a yoga/fitness app I purchased for half the amount (to trial it)and now they are just taking money automatically?!

A lot of times what happens is people accept a free trial for a product, like anti virus, and forget to cancel and it auto renews. Be careful what you are accepting.
Check if you had a subscription set up and cancel it?
Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > "manage pre-approved payments.''

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Hello @Temp20231015t and @kernowlass!
Welcome to the PayPal Community, @Temp20231015t, and we appreciate all of the information you provide, @kernowlass!
I'm sorry to hear that you discovered a subscription to Actitech Limited that has been recurring for 16 months, @Temp20231015t. As @kernowlass mentioned, it sounds like it might have been a trial or automatic payment that was set up previously. Regarding the dispute timeframe you mentioned, I wanted to confirm that disputes can only be filed within the last six months. If you are able to determine that the original charge and all subsequent charges were unauthorized, you can file an unauthorized dispute, as they do not have a timeframe. However, all other disputes will automatically be closed for transactions older than six months. You can learn how to file an unauthorized dispute on our Help Center here: How do I report an unauthorized transaction or account activity?
If you find out that it was a subscription you had canceled with the merchant at one time, but they never canceled your PayPal dispute, you can file a Canceled Recurring Billing dispute for all payments within the last six months. For reimbursement for any older transactions, you would have to consider options outside of PayPal. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
I hope this information helps you receive a refund on some of the transactions!

Tied to a fitness app I believe. A lot of times what happens is people accept a free trial for a product and forget to cancel. As a buyer you must agree to a billing agreement/subscription before a merchant can take a payment from your PayPal account.
If you don't notice during checkout OR don't cancel then it auto renews. Be careful what you are accepting.
Check if you had a subscription set up and cancel it?

It's usually for a wellness of fitness app. example: OMO You'll have to figure out what company it is from and cancel through their email.
