Bus/Financial - Accounting / Claim form for possession of property
English term or phrase: BFD
In a claim form for possession of property issued in the UK, there's a table for due and paid rent payments. In the first cell under the "Amount Paid" column there's the acronym "BFD", can anyone tell what this could stand for?

Thanks a lot!
