MTD VAT Direct debit balls up

[SimonMac]

So having switched onto MTD and previously had a DD for VAT in place I noticed that the payment for the quarter recently ended hasn't been taken.

Did a bit of googling and found this:

Vat DD payments in mtd | AccountingWEB

Sure enough the co HMRC VAT DD has been cancelled and there is no sign of another DD having been set up even though payment is overdue.

Tried to call HMRC this morning but got lovely automated message telling me they were very busy, go to the website and then ending the call with no choice to hold.

Should I just sit back and let them realise/sort out their own mess or will it come back to bite me with penalties etc?

IIRC missed one VAT submission before so have no more strikes before penalty.

You know you owe money, if it's there balls up or not, why not just make a manual payment?

Before making any changes to VAT payments make sure you check your VAT return.

Freeagent is telling my mine is due today but if you read the VAT return it says they will debit it from the bank account on 10/5

Check thoroughly before messing with your payments.
