    Your debit card actually lasted its entire lifetime with First Direct? Impressive. I found their cards dissolve before their expiry date, they're that bad quality.

    Shoot them a message on Internet Banking and they'll send you out a new card right away, otherwise I believe it was 2 weeks before they expire, a new one is issued.

    Mine also expires at the end of this month - a new one arrived on Saturday morning (without me having to request it).

    I would phone and ask, it may have gone missing in the post and I'd want to make sure it had been cancelled.
