My Direct Debit hasn't been taken

If you're sufficiently in credit we may not take money from your account. You can log into your account at http://www.bt.com/mybt to check this. Otherwise, this means we've applied to take your payment, but it was refused by your bank. You should have received a letter from us telling you we couldn't take the payment and that you may have to pay a late payment charge.

There are a number of possible reasons your bank wouldn't let us take your payment:

  • The bank account details we used didn't match the bank account.
  • There's not enough money in your account.
  • The payment exceeded the Direct Debit limit you've set with your bank.
  • The bank has received a request to cancel the Direct Debit.
  • The bank account has been closed or transferred to another bank.

Please contact your bank if you need more help with this.
