Error message when updating my Direct Debit

I've been trying to change the details on my direct debit for about a week. I keep getting 'Oops something went wrong, try again later'. At first this was every time I try to log in. 

Now that I’ve logged in I am unable to update my Direct Debit. I have changed my bank account. The details are correct but I’m still getting 'Oops something went wrong, try again later'.

After reading other peoples experience - I have tried downloading the app on my phone. Still the same. I have tried updating the app and restarting my phone.

Can someone please help? If I am unable to change my details I wont me able to pay my phone bill.

I’ve tried contacting through the online chat but it struggles to understand my problem. It initially suggested going back online (and provided a link). I gave up after that. Will it eventually lead to a person?

While you’re using the iD Live Chat service, just type “talk to a person” to avoid the 24/7 chat-bot and speak to an adviser, @DanbyW

There isn’t an iD Mobile telephone support helpline - their help & support is entirely online.

Have you tried doing this online, @DanbyW

Login to your iD account, using a web browser, at https://my.idmobile.co.uk

Otherwise, perhaps contact the iD support team, using the online Live Chat service - the advisers work until 8pm weekdays.

Hey! Thanks for the reply.
I was originally trying online before downloading the app. It’s really weird.

I managed to get in contact with someone through the online chat. Apparently it’s an ongoing technical issue that has been raised with the technical team. I’m very surprised that I am unable to change my direct debit details any other way than through the app or website.

I’ve been asked to wait 48hours but am unsure if they will be back in touch or if I should wait and try again.

Hi @ChezBooth,

Welcome to the Community!

Have you tried logging into your account online?

You should be able to change your direct debit details from there.

Hi @ChezBooth,

It sounds like it could be down to the verification process.

However glad to hear that it is resolved.

If you require further assistance, please let us know.

I am having the exact same problem based on live chat have been told to wait 48 hours with the exact same response. Was told it was due to the new app which is odd. Being this thread is over a month and it has been over 48 hours I suppose I am in the same boat. Idk what to really do to get this resolved.

Hi mate, it seems to be an issue with Santander bank for me. I registered my Monzo account details and they were accepted straight away. Have you tried another bank account ? I know its hassle but im going to just make sure the moneys in my other account for now and keep trying my santander account at a later date. Seemed to be the only way round it for me for now.

Same error here too which is why I'm currently reading this thread.

 

I've tried both the app and the website to no avail. I also tried a separate bank account just Incase it was an issue with my main bank.

Hi @Hainesy82 & @Paul999 

 

I’d recommend making sure that the details used in the iD Mobile app/website when setting up the direct debit match exactly to the details you have with your bank (Name, Address etc).

 

If you’re still having issues with this, we’d recommend calling as a one time exception 0800 049 2376 to change your direct debit details over the phone.

Same error.  Problems setting up a DD to pay from a Monzo account. Tried twice in a month, both online not app, and both times oops something is wrong. How do I get someone to tell me why this is failing (obvs checked that I’m using details as they are displayed on my Monzo account). Has anyone been successful setting up a Monzo account DD?
