Missed mortgage payment through no fault of my own. . .

I previously banked with Alliance & Leicester, now with Santander. It appears that in July, Santander cancelled my mortgage direct debit for RBS without authorisation from me. I didn't realise at the time. I only became aware when my mortgage lender informed me of a failed direct debit.
It appears this happened because of the change in sort-codes from Alliance and Leicester to Santander. Santander say they informed my mortgage company. My mortgage company say they were not informed. This leaves me with a missed payment on my credit file just at the time I was looking to remortgage. I have escalated a complaint with both companies, but need to know what impact this missed payment will have on my re-mortgage plans. I have never missed a mortgage payment before and am absolutely furious about this.

Why did this happen in July? As the old A&L sort codes were changed some time back.0

According to Santander, direct debits on the old sort code were accepted for a time. From July, they were no longer valid.0

Keep pursuing the complaint.
Make sure one of the outcomes is a correction to your credit file.
If you don't get this, escalate to the FOS.0
