Rent not taken

Hi

Apologies if this post is in the wrong place
I pay £20 a week towards my rent and have been doing since January 2013 this is because my housing association said I need to be a month ahead in my rent.
I am currently on full housing benefit.
The direct debit for the £20 is and has been taken regularly since I moved in, in january however this week it has not been taken.
I know I need to call my landlord but can't until tomorrow. Just wondered if anyone knew why they have not requested it?
I suffer with depression and anxiety and I'm so worried something is wrong and yes I know thats silly but my anxiety makes me think this way

Maybe all the £20 you have paid add up to a months rent and you are now the required amount of time ahead so they have stopped taking it?

Hi

Thats what I thought but my maths just wont add up

Well you could have caught up with yourself, the bank (either) could have made a mistake, there might not have been enough money in the account etc etc.
You've noticed the problem and are now communicating with them to find out the reason and no doubt will take appropriate action (ie reset up DD or rejig repayment plan if necessary). There is not much else you can do, and I can't think there is anything particularly productive you can do to help the situation today so try not to worry.

Thanks
The bank said the DD hasn't been requested
Never thought I would say this but can't wait for monday morning.
I'll post my landlords response.

Thanks again
