Wrong invoice or customer detail on EDF: correction steps
A correction must follow the authority’s or AD’s accepted process. Preparing a revised draft does not amend a previously submitted record.
What to do
Locate the original submission reference and acknowledgement. Describe the incorrect field, correct value and supporting document. Ask whether the bank wants an amended EDF, letter or another workflow. Keep both versions and the correction acknowledgement so the audit trail remains understandable.
If a client name is misspelled, the contract or invoice can support the corrected spelling and the enquiry can identify the original EDF.
Avoid this mistake
Do not delete the original reference or imply an unacknowledged draft has replaced a filed declaration.
Keep a clear record
Retain the underlying invoice or accepted statement, supporting correspondence and any acknowledgement from the designated authority or authorised-dealer bank. The tools here prepare information; only the appropriate authority can confirm acceptance, extension or closure.
