My Direct Debit has been rejected. Will you re-request the money from my bank again?
Your bank will inform us that your Direct Debit has been rejected. We will request the payment required from your account, if the first attempt fails we will make two further attempts to take payment from you. After each attempt we will write to you informing you of this. If the rejection is due to a lack of funds in your account, your bank may charge you every time we request payment.
