I've experienced HMRC cancelling the direct debit instruction and not telling anyone they've done so...
Just for info, one that has gone very smoothly for me, client received an e-mail on 8 August:-
D/d went out fine on 12 August, slightly different wording on bank statement "HMRC E VAT" whereas it used to say "HMRC VAT". HM Revenue & Customs

Yes, its because HMRC were late in migrating older client DD details from a legacy system. They told me this would lead to a delay of a couple of days. But the problem with MTD is that you no longer get confirmation when you file the return that the VAT will be collected by DD, so if the client has not received an email the only way of checking is to call the VAT online services helpdesk!
