Paypal email about direct debit
 

Hi all

I just recieved this email from paypal

Dear *** ***

We attempted to cancel our Direct Debit Instruction (DDI) from your bank account ending in ****.

The transaction was declined during our processing.

Therefore, to protect your account, access your online banking and cancel the DDI yourself. You can also call or visit your bank to do so manually.

We look forward to continuing to offer you the number one way to send and receive money online.



Why they want to cancel the direct debit i did not do anything like that?

Also its smile bank account, maybe i got wrong address down on paypal for direct debit instruction?

Other people have had this happen this week. The other bank was Halifax.

Whats the way around it then?

Just had 2 of my stealth account DDs returned and cancelled.

But 2 of my other stealth PP DDs went through fine. They were all done with the same bank in the same manner?!?!

I have attempted to re-submit them in the hope that they will work. Fingers crossed.

which bank

were they all the same type of bank account

savers,current etc

Mines was a smile saver

Savers fail too often.


:ranger:

Why do they fail cos of names?

Mainly because they are not designed or intended to have DD mandates attached to them so they eventually the bank will reject the mandate.

Hi Briars,
what bank are you with?
basically i'm about to start my first EB stealth account
i will use Entropay for vcc, BUT NOT SURE WHICH BANK FOR DD

THANKS

Most UK banks are good with the exception of Lloyds which should be avoided.

These were with Natwest and they were all current accounts.

Wierd that my lloyds is okay

.......at the moment.

......be careful, very careful now.

What will happen

hi all

tried again my smile direct debit mandate failed again, smile savings account, anybody elses failing?

Not smile.

I do not use the bank in any case.

Other banks are still giving hassles.

:mad:

Which ones do you reccommend then Greenbeam?

I thought smile was recommended

RBS

Natwest


I use current accounts.

If I recall you use basic accounts?

:ranger:

Got this when using a Halifax Online Saver account. I resubmitted the DD mandate and got the email again today that they failed to cancel it.

The bank is still ok to withdraw money from PayPal for now.

So even though mandate fails its still okay as you can still carry on withdrawing?

Yeah.

The only thing you can't do is make payments with your bank account like transferring money, Instant Bank Transfer or eCheque which we wouldn't be using anyway.

So i was worrying for no reason lol

You were worrying for a sensible reason.

Your account got flagged because of this bank issue.

You now have to work out what to do to be able to operate smoothly.

Avoid thinking otherwise

:ranger:

so they flagged it so it will get blocked? shall i just link a different current account, or keep using for withdrawels as it is?

Any p/p account without a valid DD mandate attached is at HIGH risk.

p/p do not like that at all.

If I were you I would be looking to attach a proper bank account that will not have the dd mandate rejected i.e. not a saver.

Has anyone got any recent experience with the CashPlus bank?

Does this bank accept the PayPal deposits in stealth names?

Okay will it be okay for a week till my bank details come through?

A week is not to long but with p/p as we are all aware you never know when they will take action against accounts.
