My road tax will not be paid from this non existant debit card

alankearn

Just curious, I have recieved my annual car road tax reminder payment  that the will deduct it on the 4th June from a HSBC account/debit card that was closed (switched) to NatWest 6 months ago.
Am I  correct in thinking that athough DVLA have used a now  non existant account debit card number, NatWest (from the swich)  will have details of this automatic once a year payment and proceed to pay it .   
Thanks

More likely is that the DD will be rejected, and your VED will be unpaid.

Didn't NatWest provide you with a list of the DDs that would automatically be transferred over to them from HSBC?  Check your paperwork.

Is it a direct debit or a debit card payment?

If you use the account switching service then direct debits are transferred to the new bank automatically. Recurring debit card payments however are not, so if it's a debit card they are going to try taking the payment from then it will fail and your car will be untaxed.

Can you actually pay this by recurring debit card payment ?

 I think the answer is yes,
A few days before the road tax was due I recieve a email a saying the road tax would be deducted from my account on a certain day
No filling in of forms

Thanks to all for your replies

On the 4th June I will check to see if the road tax amount has been deducted from my account, if not I will pay it online

I think you're following the OPs example in being confused between DD and debit card.
