The money was debited on the 23rd of June and it says Amazon Prime*1887H CD 1220 and under money out it says 7.99.
It's not much I know, but any advice other than informing the bank.

Contact amazon, but look at your amazon account.
Have you bought anything in the past 8 weeks from amazon (or 1 month before the first payment, if this one is not the first) ? The way it is set up is quite devious.
'Do you want fast and free delivery tick this box with free trial of amazon prime'. which is much more prominent to the 'do you want free delivery without amazon prime' tick this box.
So you may have accidentally signed up to it. Good news is that it can be cancelled at anytime though with no.further charge or consequence.
When prime first started, I didn't notice at the bottom of the page, you HAD to opt out of signing up. You were automatically signed up to it, which I did. Cancelled as soon as I saw the invoice for payment of the item I had bought. But there was an outcry over this, and it was stopped, but it is still quite a devious set up now. (Add something to your basket and go to the payment stage, cancel at the last minute, but look at the various options and you will see what I mean)
