Car Tax Direct Debit - DVLA

The direct debit for my car tax wasn't taken out of my bank account yesterday or today.  I have had a 'web-chat' with Nationwide this morning and they have suggested contacting DVLA  but the 'bot' web-chat ended because I don't have a letter!
Has anyone else NOT had their direct debit taken this month or is it just me?  TIA

    Does the car show as being taxed?

    Same from me.
    First payment of 12 was due 1st June but not collected.
    Car showing as taxed until 1st June 2021, so I am not bothered.
    Been using this system for a number of years without issue.
    Don't forget you covered by the direct debit guarantee

    Just found my email reminder from DVLA sent in May and it confirms the first payment will not be collected until June 3rd.
