Rejecting a SEPA CORE Direct Debit
You can request a refund for a SEPA CORE direct debit that was incorrectly debited from your account within 8 weeks of the debit date. Please note that this option is not available for SEPA B2B direct debits.
To dispute a direct debit:
- Log in to your online account.
- Go to the Direct Debits tab.
- Click on Received Direct Debit, select the direct debit to dispute, and click Rejected.
The amount will be re-credited to your account within 2 to 3 days. Remember to inform your creditor about this refund request.
Caution: Ensure your request is legitimate, as your creditor may impose penalties for unjustified disputes.
Blocking a Creditor
To prevent future direct debits from a specific organisation, you can block the creditor:
- Log in to your online account.
- Go to the Direct Debits tab, then select Mandate.
- Choose the creditor to block.
If you want to revoke a creditor before any transactions occur, you will need to wait for the first scheduled payment. Once the debit has been made, you can request a refund, which will be credited to your account within 2 to 3 days, and then block the creditor.
Note: Repeated rejection of direct debits due to insufficient funds may be considered irregular account usage and could result in account closure.
