Good morning @Reubz1811. 

Welcome to the EE Community. 

This can happen if your direct debit is already pending with your bank when making a card payment towards your bill. 

If you give us a call on 150 our customer care team will be able to process you a refund.

@Reubz1811 : Why did you pay your bill manually when you had a DD in operation? If you have a DD in operation you shouldn't make a manual payment on or soon after your billing date. It is then too late to stop the DD being auto taken in full. Even if the DD fails the 1st time of asking it will be auto attempted again about 7 days later. Now the extra will be used as credit against your next bill. It won't show on your a/c until the next bill.

You could call CS to ask for it be refunded to your payment method.

I'm surprised this hasn't happened to you before. You musta always paid your bill before your billing date. in anticipation.
