We will tell you how much it is before we start the recovery process. If we cannot get the money back, you can request the relevant information we have about the Payment to help you reclaim the money. We will provide this information on receiving a written request from you, unless the law prevents us doing so.

    7.13 You can authorise us to make a Payment from your Account via the App by setting up electronic payments and giving us instructions via a third party, such as through a direct debit scheme or a Payment Initiation Service Provider. We will treat a Payment as authorised by you if:

You can check the Account to ensure there was enough Available Balance and/or that correct recipient details were provided or can ask us why we have not executed a Payment by contacting Customer Services. Unless the law prevents us, we will explain why and we will also tell you what can be done to correct any errors in the Payment Instruction because we or the Programme Manager are concerned under paragraph 7.14.6. We will contact you (which may include using the contact details provided by you) as soon as possible or in advance if possible to explain why we have refused to process the payment, unless we are prohibited by the law or we have security reasons to do so.

    7.16 You may not be able to stop any Payment once it has been authorised. However, you may be able to stop a Direct Debit payment provided that:

      7.16.1 the Direct Debit is cancelled at any time up to end of the Working Day proceeding the day agreed for debiting the funds; and
      7.16.2 the payment has not already been made.

We recommend that the recipient is also informed; we will not be responsible if you fail to inform them and the recipient will not have any claim against us.

    7.19 If, for any reason, a payment is processed for an amount greater than the Available Balance on your Account, you must repay us the amount by which the Full Deductible Amount exceeds your Available Balance immediately after receiving notice from us. Should you not repay this amount immediately after receiving an invoice from us we reserve the right to take all steps necessary, including legal action and/or closing your Account, to recover any monies outstanding.
