Direct Debit

Direct Debit is the simplest way to pay your household bills. It saves time, is more convenient and gives you greater control over your money.

A Direct Debit is an instruction from a customer to their bank or building society authorising an organisation to collect money from their account, as long as the customer has been given advance notice of the collection amounts and dates"

We can help you to budget more effectively, choose from several payment options and in many cases will even spread your Council Tax payments over two extra months!
