DD's and the repayments are handled by BACS process which takes at least 3 days ,which is the fastest i have had one

Also if a Direct Debit is within 48 hours of its payment date it cannot be stopped which is correct so do try getting your facts correct before posting rubbish.

Your bank or building society can make the cancellation up to and including the due date, but try not to leave it until the last minute or you run the risk of a payment still being made.

also i could go into my online banking and cancel any DD's the day before they are due and they do not get payed.

Do you find the above amusing as you must have when you posted your comment above as did find my above comment amusing but my reason for moving is to a better job so again so wrong and no surprise either.
If the factual errors you have posted are anything to go by then it is a very good job you no longer work in the call center ,and i'll thank you to refrain from commenting on my job choice ,you know nothing of my skills ,experience or circumstances so do not ever attempt to insult me in that way again

The OP has been correctly advised by myself and other posters to claim the money back under the DD guarantee and based on his info given he would be successful ,he would then need to arrange payment to VM for any monies owed .Telling him that any repayment could be taken off him without warning leaving him overdrawn as the money doesn't actually belong to him is just plain wrong on so many levels .By claiming an indemnity the authority for VM to approach your bank for funds has been removed so they cannot ever go into that account again unless a new instruction is given by the account holder ,they must therefore use more traditional billing methods and send a bill for the correct amount
