pain.008.001.02 — mandate signed after the collection

A direct debit collected under a mandate the debtor had not yet signed: DtOfSgntr is 2026-04-10 but the collection date is 2026-03-05. A common, quietly fatal defect — the ICS, the IBANs and the totals are all correct.

File content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
  ValidateFin sample file — SEPA Direct Debit, pain.008.001.02, CORE scheme.
  Expected validation result: INVALID — exactly one error.

  Deliberate defect: the mandate signature date (DtOfSgntr = 2026-04-10) is LATER
  than the requested collection date (ReqdColltnDt = 2026-03-05). A debtor cannot
  be debited under a mandate they had not yet signed, so the bank rejects the
  collection. Everything else in this file is correct: the IBANs pass mod-97, the
  ICS passes ISO 7064 MOD 97-10, and the control totals match.

  All parties are fictitious.

How we know these results hold

Every file in this library is run through the site's own validator on each build. The expected result stated above is asserted by an automated test — if a file stopped matching what this page claims, the build would fail. Two inherited fixtures were repaired this way before publication: three IBANs failed the mod-97 check and several names used characters outside the basic SEPA character set.
