I paid manually and my direct debit came out a few days after; is a refund possible instead of credit?

I paid manually from another payment method a few days before my direct debit was due for my wifi as I thought it would stop the money coming out of my usual payment method however I’ve ended up paying twice. My question with this is: is it possible to get the second payment refunded into the my bank or as a cheque instead of account credit? Any help would be appreciated I just don’t want to cancel the debit for a refund, do an indemnity claim or anything of the sort without at least inquiring in case my wifi gets cut off.

    Once the VM bill has been generated the direct debit date and amount are set. To prevent a direct debit being charged, your credit to the VM a/c must arrive before the bill is created.

    Hi IronM1tch311 👋.

    Thanks for reaching out to us and welcome to the Community Forums, with Direct Debits no moneys being added manually will ever stop a Direct Debit it is an automated process that will take money from an account on it's designated date each month unless of a Public Holiday or weekend where it will come out prior to this.
