Frequently asked questions

What does a reason code mean on a debit order?

A reason code is returned by the bank to explain why a debit order was not processed. Common codes include insufficient funds, account closed, or instruction to stop payment. Contact your bank or StratCol for specific code definitions.

Can I view debit orders for previous months?

Yes. Select the applicable month from the drop-down at the top of the screen to view historical submission data.

How do I follow up with a family whose debit order was unpaid?

Use the phone icon or email icon next to the family record on the status screen to send a direct SMS or email. You can also click the statement icon to print and post a statement.
