Reverse a Direct Debit

You can reverse a direct debit before it is processed by the customer’s bank. The direct debit must be in the
settle_initiated
or
settle_accepted
status. To reverse a
pending
direct debit, send a cancel direct debit request instead. See Cancel a Direct Debit.
To reverse a direct debit after more than five days, or when the status is
settled
, send a refund request instead. See Refund a Direct Debit.

apCancelService_run
