I’ve left it too late to merge this topic (so I’ll just close it instead) but here’s Liam’s answer for you -

Direct debits are created on the originators (the merchant) end - to set this up, you provide your account details (normally account number and sort code) - and they will send through a Direct Debit Instruction, which then gives the merchant the ability to debit your account - without this instruction, any debits will be declined. Once we’ve received a DDI (usually 3 working days after you provided your details to the originator) we’ll show this in the Recurring Payments section of the Spending Tab - the first payment doesn’t need to go through - although we don’t get any information about the amount until the first payment arrives
