Having done a lot of research when looking for a puppy myself years ago, I can tell you that a huge percentage of private dog breeders are not registered as self employed or a business, because they don't think they are that. Look at all the private dog ads on websites like gumtree or pets4homes, they are all individuals.0 -

On a practical front, get an account with one of the app only mastercard debit places like Hyperjar. Takes minutes to open, and day or two get a card (a downside with the one I suggested is that it doesn't allow ATM use)
Open a savings account with a different bank/building society/post office/etc, and keep most of your money there, obviously with an ATM card, and then transfer money around / make payments using faster payments0 -

A more full service app bank like Monzo will be a better long term solution to allow things like DD, but in the interim until she finds our more about why there is CIFAS marker and what she can do then I think in the interim she'll have to make the payments by "hand" instead of DD for the moment.
FWIW, I suspect there is more to the story than she has told you, and that may be worth investigating.0 -

Yeah I'm suspecting that myself.0
