What should I do if I need to get a Direct Debit refunded?

When you pay by Direct Debit, you’re protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee So, if a payment is taken on the wrong day or for the wrong amount, you’re entitled to a full and immediate refund. You can arrange this by contacting your bank and asking for a Direct Debit indemnity.
