Direct Debit
Direct Debit is the most convenient and reliable method of payment and is used by many customers already, giving them peace of mind that their payment has been made. It is also the cheapest method we have of collecting rent, allowing us to spend more of your rent payment on the provision of housing services. Payments are taken from your bank or building society account on an agreed date and are covered by the Direct Debit guarantee. Download a direct debit instruction form by clicking here and send it to us, and we will do the rest of the work, or please contact us for a form, by calling 01344 382800.
We often run prize draws for customers who pay by direct debit. A recent winner said: "I would definitely recommend payment by Direct Debit – once the form is completed you don’t have to think about it and there is an added bonus if there is a chance to be entered into a draws like this one."
Another customer said: "It is hassle free – setting up a direct debit is really easy and I've never had any problems."
