Direct debit after divorce or separation

When you seperate or divorce, you have a lot to organise. Did you give consent for payment in instalments to GBLT? Then you may have to change something with us too.

You consented to paying by direct debit. The tax assessment is in your ex-partner's name.

Are we debiting the tax assessment in your ex-partner's name from your bank account? Then you must change this yourself at GBLT. If you do not change this, GBLT will continue to debit amounts from your bank account.

You can withdraw your consent in two ways:

  • Instruct your bank to withdraw your consent.
  • Send GBLT a letter. In this letter you state that you withdraw your consent. The letter should be sent to GBLT, PO Box 1098, 8001 BB Zwolle, the Netherlands.

Note: Did you fail to notify GBLT of any changes? Then GBLT will not refund the amounts debited to you. Ask your bank to refund the payments. This is only possible within 56 days.

Did we debit your account over 56 days ago? Then settle the repayment with your ex-partner.

The name of the bank account changes

Did you have a bank account in both names? And are you changing it to only your name? Then this will not change automatically at GBLT.

Did you give constent for direct debit in instalments in the past? And is the tax assessment in your name? Then you do not have to do anything.

Did you give constent for direct debit in instalmentsĀ  in the past? And is the tax assessment in your ex-partner's name? Then you will have to change this.

  • You will have to withdraw your previous consent.
  • Then give renewed consent for tax assessments in your name.
