What prevents you from revoking your payment mandate at your bank?

In Europe at least, your bank must honor this request and there's nothing your debtor can do about except spending 1000's to recover at most 3 months of payments with the current legal apparatus in Europe.

It's not that they're trying to stop payments but to delete the account entirely. Stopping was easy when I did it but I haven't tried deleting my account.

I agree with them though fuck nordvpn.
