Mortgage-style loan query

Lemontea2021

I have 3 old mortgage-style loans. Two are with Erudio and 1 with Honours. I've had repeated issues over the years including two upheld formal complaints against them so my confidence in these companies is less than zero. I was told by Erudio last year that all my loans would expire on 7th October 2025. I have been in deferment for years but this was due to end on the 9th October 2025 with repayments due to start on 10th October.

I rang Erudio again a couple of weeks ago to double check all was well and there would be no last minute shenanigans and they confirmed again that "the loans would expire on 7th October 2025 and that there was no arrears on the account" (BTW tried to also call Honours to check with them and just kept getting a recorded message saying the number was disconnected!).

As a precaution due to the tight window between expiry and first payment, I cancelled the direct debits. Today (10th October) I received a letter through the post from Honours demanding I reinstate the direct debit and at the same time notification from my bank that Erudio have reinstated the cancelled direct debit without my permission. 

For info, all correspondence regarding deferment has been with the Student Loan Company but they won't speak to me on the phone, just keep referring me back to Erudio and Honours.

Do I need to worry or just sit tight? I was told by Erudio I would automatically receive a letter of confirmation "some time after the 7th" but until that arrives I have nothing in writing.
