We have identified an error in the calculation of Direct Debit failure rates in the Economic activity and social change in the UK, real-time statistical bulletin and in the Monthly Direct Debit failure rate and average transaction amount dataset since the start of the time series in January 2019. This happened because of human error. The dataset has now been corrected. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Please contact realtime.indicators@ons.gov.uk for more information.
