    Hi swoofer, 

    Thanks for contacting us on Boards. 

    We're sorry that your family friend was advised that it is necessary to do this through 365 Online, while it may be quicker to cancel the direct debit through 365 Online, it is not necessary to cancel this through 365 Online. Can you please let us know what branch this occurred in? 

    Thanks,
    Sarah

    I tried to PM you but no joy.   I cant say branch and to add insult to injury they put in her wrong DOB which made it impossible to access online anyway and they never cancelled the DD!!

    Can you tell me how the DD should have been cancelled?  I thought they could go to counter and request it. 

    By the way thanks for very quick response.

    Hi swoofer, 

    Sorry to hear that the date of birth was entered in incorrectly when registering for 365 Online, has a representative since amended this for her? If you wish to send a private message, please click on the link in my signature (please make sure you have signatures set to display on your Boards settings). 

    You can cancel a SEPA direct debit by filling in a cancellation form which can be found on our website here. 

    Thanks,
    Sarah
