Does cancelling a direct debit cancel the obligation?
A payment mandate authorizes a collection method; the loan agreement creates the repayment obligation.

Clarify another approved way to pay and the consequence of a failed collection. Disputes about authorization or the underlying agreement need their relevant processes rather than an assumption that the balance vanished.
