Sainsburys DD

tiredoflife

I changed the details on my Sainsburys direct debit to my new bank account today and stupidly only saw the payment date of the 16th (Monday) when i had completed it! I have also made an additional payment to cover the DD but it said it takes 3 working days to reach them.
I've been a tit haven't I! Whats likely to happen?

Give then a call and explain the situation - you could make a payment over the phone.

I cant i'm stuck at work until late. I have emailed them.
Why do i !!!! things up all the time, i'm an idiot, there goes my 0%

Have you still got your old account? It may have been too late for them to stop DD anyway.

Even if DD and/or payment don't make it in time, phone up and explain. IME most card companies are lenient with first offenders.

Still have old account. I'm hoping they have already taken the money ready for Monday.
Thanks for the reassurance guys, what would I do without this site!

FPs normally are the same day even for payments to CCs.

I dont think it was a FP (faster payment?) it came up as world pay?

Have you contacted the bank of the old account and asked them to cancel the DD?
Or have you just given Sainsbury's the new details?

If it's the latter then it should just get taken from the old account as normal this month.

I have just changed the details on the Sainsburys account.
Fingers crossed!

Well, you could have paid by FP in which case it wouldn't "come up as world pay".

Sorted. DD taken out of usual bank. 👍🏻
