    They only try taking it twice - usually early morning and again around 3 o'clock on the same day.
    You can fix it by setting up a new DD - even same bank and same details.
    So what should I do ? Ring them tomorrow ans set up a new DD?

    thanks
    YES. As there is no way that you can set up a DD. Retails needs to do it.
    But might be better to pay via debit/credit card for this year.
