Double charge via Direct Debit

I am concerned that I may be being double charged on my account.

Each month I am charged £8.00, which is the only amount shown on my online ID Mobile account and bills. However, I have also been charged an additional £7.00 at a different time in the month, even though there is no record of this £7.00 anywhere on my account. Looking back, I did receive an email saying I would be charged £7.00 on 31/01/2026, but this does not appear in my online bills or account history.

I previously contacted Live Chat and was told that I am only paying £8.00 per month. Based on that information, and as I have recently switched banks, I cancelled the Direct Debit for the £7.00 because it appeared to be a duplicate charge. I also asked my bank to refund the £7.00 payments, which they have done for January 2026  and February 2026, because there is no record on ID Mobile of these charges.

I have now received an email today stating that the £7.00 Direct Debit needs to be set up again. However, when I check my account and go to manage Direct Debits, the only payment listed is £8.00. There is no reference to a £7.00 bill or Direct Debit. I therefore cannot set up a Direct Debit for something that does not appear on my account.

Please can someone review my account and provide written confirmation of the total monthly amount I am required to pay, along with a full breakdown of any active charges currently linked to my account. Is it possible to also check if there is a second account in my name that might explain the extra charge? Until this is clarified, I cannot set up any additional payments.

I am also having the same issue. I am scared to cancel the one direct debit just in case this affects my credit score. Do you know how we go about fixing this issue?

Hi ​@lottiangel 

 

Sorry for the inconvenience. Are you also being charged two different amounts via Direct Debit? If that is the case, it may be possible that an additional account has been opened in your name.

Hi ​@amandariches 

 

I do apologise that you did not receive a response regarding this matter.

Has the issue now been resolved, or is it still ongoing?
