    If all of those events happened then the answer is yes.

    You could try to call them and ask for a refund if this is the first time you've been charged, failing that you could try to reclaim them if you feel it's worth it for £36.

    On a practical note you could set up a direct debit for the future to stop it happening again.

    I think UNDERGROUND meant an overdraft facility on your current account so that direct debits will be more likely to be allowed to go through?

    Somehow I feel that the unpaid direct debit and late fee go hand-in-hand in cases of missed direct debits - this is what I personally don't agree on.

    However, no harm of course in trying to reclaim all the 3 charges. Good luck!

    I suggest you go to the Debt free wannabe board.
    You desperately need to make some savings to repay your debts or these charges will spiral out of control.
