    theyve said not as has already come out of the bank, all they did was apologise and say its corrected for next month and as i pay monthly dd it'll be there as an extra payment towards my next bill

    im not underwater just gotta do some very belt tightening for the next 2 weeks hence the value brands, altho i do usually get the supermarkets own brand so its only a drop of one step :)

  • Under the direct debit guarantee, they have to inform you if they are changing the amount. if they do this without informing you..then you have a right to the money back immediately. I have done this in the past, and the bank backed me up.

  • You're welcome, hope it is of use..don't let them wriggle out of it.When you sign up for a DD whether it is online of in person there is always one of those little slips which comes with it. Have a look for yours and use it against them.
