Yes, you probably will.
Direct Debits go out (or get rejected) in the early hours of the morning. The decision will have been made. (Although one bank, can’t remember who, have changed their conditions and if the money is paid in till close of business on that day, there will not be a charge.)
Phone your bank, apologize profusely, promise to pay in the money and ask them to drop any charges. (It might work.)0 -
Thanks for response! I actually paid in the money and forgot that another direct debit was due off so missed it by £3!!! I am so silly, really upset about it and rubbish start to the week!! I am with the Bank of Scotland, could pay it in at lunch time so might give them a call and see what they say!
