Instruct the bank to deny any order except those you set up.

That *should* be the default situation. You shouldn't have to tell them!

Didn't think you could set up direcct debits. You inform the merchant

The bank should then write to you giving details of the new DD and
asking if this is OK? The default answer being yes. Talk to Mr Jeremy
Clarkson...
