Direct Debit - the easy way to pay


If you use Direct Debit you can choose when to pay:-

• Monthly - on 1st or 15th (10 months)
• Fortnightly - on a Friday (21 instalments)
• Weekly - on a Friday (42 instalments)

You now have the choice of extending your payments through to March:-

• Monthly - on 1st or 15th (12 months)
• Fortnightly - on a Friday (26 instalments)
• Weekly - on a Friday (52 instalments)

If you pay monthly but do not use Direct Debit you will have to pay your instalments by the 1st of each month starting April and ending in January.
