Short answer
A direct debit may not go through for a couple of reasons:
There wasn’t enough in your account or debit/credit card to cover the deduction. If this happens, we’ll let you know the date we’ll try the direct debit again. If it fails again, we’ll cancel your direct debit and let you what’s due.
Your direct debit may not be active yet. It can take up to four days from the date you set it up to activate. If it’s longer than four days, this article explains how to check your direct debit to help diagnose the problem.
