Panicky.
Nipped out to pay my rent, only to find that the post office had been flooded, so they were closed. Instead I phoned the association I'm renting from, only to have my card declined when they tried to take the payment. Panic attack!
I know that the money was in the account because I left it in there deliberately. They tried again, same problem, getting really panicky by now because I'm not sure what's going on.
I logged onto my bank. The reason it failed? They had taken the rent by direct debit that morning and had just failed to 1. Inform me it would be going out today and 2. Tell me when I spoke to them on the phone that it had already been paid!
Thinking of putting in a complaint but I am a new tenant and not sure how it would affect my tenancy, etc.
Any advice here?
