Issue with Direct Debit

Hi,

I had amended my direct debit details in the beginning of Dec-24. My next bill was not due until 3rd Jan, so the amendment was well before the actual payment date. However, the direct debit did not go through my bank and I had to make the payment manually instead. I also contacted my bank to check if there was issue at their end, but I was told that they do have control over direct debit payments going through.

I have since re-entered my direct debit details. Can you please confirm if there are any issues at your end so I won’t have the same issue again?

 

Thanks

Hi there ​@Shrupu 

 

To get this checked I’d suggest contacting iD via either of these:

Tag @iD Mobile on Facebook or @iD_Mobile_UK on X or https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat

 

This may or may not be of use too

When you change your Direct Debit payment date, your billing period aligns with it. This changes a few things: the date your bill is issued, and the date your allowances refresh. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Your payment might still come out up to 3 working days after your chosen date due to the way the Direct Debit process works.
  • The new date will apply from your next billing period. So, if you’ve already got a payment due, it’ll still come out on the original date.
  • Your billing period will shift to match your new payment date, and your allowances will refresh on your new billing date.
  • The next billing month will be a bit longer than usual, so to make sure you’ve got enough allowances, they’ll be adjusted to cover the extra time (along with your line rental). This does mean your next bill will be slightly higher than normal.

Example: If your longer billing period is 45 days and your normal monthly (30 days) allowance is 300 minutes, we’ll give you 450 minutes (1.5 times your normal monthly allowance). You’ll also get 45 days’ worth of recurring add-ons. One-off add-ons will last 30 days, just like they usually do.

  • The month after the change is applied, you’ll get your usual allowances and pay standard monthly line rental.
