Getting Your Data Right: Import file checklist
Our Data Administration team recently wrote up a list of common errors that are found in client’s Direct Debit files and we thought it would be helpful to share the resulting checklist.
Although some of these items may seem like common sense, they can slow down the import of your Direct Debit file and result in late collections. Before you send us a file or upload it to our FTP server cross check your files with the checklist below:

Rapidata team help marshal the St Catherine’s Midnight Walk
On Saturday night Emma and Louise from Rapidata’s Data Admin Team forwent sleep and headed over to Horsham, West Sussex to marshal the St Catherine’s Hospice Midnight walk. 1000+ women of all ages walked a half marathon through the night around Horsham to raise money for this wonderful cause. Emma & Louise were 2 of 100 marshals on the night making sure all walkers were safe, having fun and most importantly walking in the right direction!
All the marshals just before our briefing (Emma and Louise are kneeling at the front in the middle)
‘The atmosphere on the night/morning was fantastic, the event was really well organised and everyone was really excited to be there, it was lovely to be a part of it. Even the very last walkers to finish at 5.20am after walking all night were still smiling.” Emma comments
