Withdrawal reports
Withdrawal reports will be generated if you have to withdraw a file due to an error after it has been inputted by Bacs.

You must update your records to these new details for future Direct Debit collections against this Direct Debit Instruction.
This report will also notify Service Users if a Direct Debit has been cancelled.
DDIC (Direct Debit Indemnity Claim) advice reports

If an Indemnity is raised, the Indemnity Claim Report will be forwarded, containing a reason code to explain the reason for the Indemnity.
ARUCS (Automated Return of Unapplied Credits Service) reports
If the correct account cannot be identified or the payment cannot be applied for any reason, the funds will be returned by the Receiving Bank to the remitting organisation’s bank account no later than Day Five of the Bacs processing cycle. A report, advising that the payment has not been applied and providing reasons why, will be made available to the Service User.
