[FONT="]If you want to cancel a direct debit[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]In the direct debit you have authorised your bank to pay amounts from your account. Accordingly, if you want to cancel, you should notify your own bank. It is a good idea to also notify the payee also.[/FONT]
[FONT="]If the Direct Debit relates to monthly subscriptions of an annual contract (the typical case is your gym subscription) the payee may tell you that you cannot cancel the Direct Debit. This is not correct - you can cancel. But if you do, you may find that you are still liable for payments under your annual contract, and the payee may chase you for payment by another means.
