My direct debit didn’t go through, so I paid immediately by debit card. I see now that a direct debit came out a few days later. I have now paid twice for the month. How does the money get returned to me, I seem unable to talk to a human being,

    Hi ​@Naseby25,

     

    Thanks for getting in touch and I’m sorry for the confusion and frustration this has caused.

     

    I can see what’s happened here: your failed Direct Debit was still reprocessed after you made a card payment, which has resulted in a duplicate payment being taken.

     

    💳 Refund process

    I do need to be clear that we can’t process or issue refunds directly from this channel.

     

    Your duplicate payment will need to be:

    • Checked by our Customer Service/Billing team
    • Verified against your account
    • Then refunded back to the original payment method (bank account or card, depending on how each payment was taken)


    📞 What you need to do next

    To get this resolved, please contact Customer Services:

    💬 Live Chat (fastest option)

    • Open the chat and type “talk to an agent” or “billing support”

    Send a direct message explaining you’ve been charged twice due to a failed Direct Debit being taken after a manual card payment.
