You should always tell the company you’re paying if you cancel a direct debit.

If you cancel a direct debit that’s due in the next two days, it may still leave your account.

  • You don’t need to tell your bank when you set up a direct debit. You create it directly with the company you want to pay.

    You can usually do this over the phone, online or through the post. They'll need to know:

    • your name and address
    • your account number and sort code
    • the name and address of your bank. 

    The company may ask you to fill in a direct debit form. If you set up the direct debit over the phone or online, you should receive confirmation in writing.

  • Sometimes you may need to tell the company you're paying about changes to your account. These can include:

    • if you change your legal name
    • when you open a new account without using a switching service.

    It’s important to update your direct debit details if this happens so the payment goes through as normal.

    If you set up a new bank account using a switching service, you don't need to do anything. Your direct debits move over to your new account automatically.

    To make any other changes, such as changing the payment date, you'll need to contact the company you're paying.

  • Your agreed payment date

    You usually choose the date your direct debit will come out when you set it up.

    Bank holidays and weekends

    If the payment date falls on a weekend or on a bank holiday, the company will take it on the next working day. There's no need to worry about late payment fees or changing your direct debit date. This happens automatically.
