An ARUDD report details any unpaid Direct Debits. You can receive ARUDDS reports one to three working days after the payment collection. A Direct Debit (DDI) may be returned unpaid for a variety of reasons, these are listed below.

๐Ÿ“ŒNote: If you use your own Service User Number (SUN), unpaid Direct Debits are collected directly from your bank account by your sponsoring bank.

๐Ÿ“ŒNote: If a payer accidentally cancels a Direct Debit and it has been archived, it can't be reinstated. A new contract must be created.

๐Ÿ“ŒNote: If you have a query regarding any of these reason codes contact our Access Digital Assistant for support. If the assistant can't resolve your query, you're connected to a support agent for further investigation.

If you receive an ARUDDS message stating "Ignored ADDACS/ARUDDS code for contact because bank details in report do not match customer bank details in the system", it means the system has already been updated and the incoming data doesn't match current records. No action is required.
