    They are within their rights to take money you have on your current and other accounts with them to cover your debt. However, they cannot take more than you have (causing charges) and cannot reinstate the direct debit without your consent.

    Q. Can money be collected from my/our account after I have cancelled a Direct Debit Instruction?

    A. No. The organisation would have to obtain your authority to reinstate a cancelled instruction.
    Open an account with some other bank (not Natwest!) to have your income paid in.
    However, they have no obligations to freeze the interest and you must repay the debt and the interest.
