Ways to pay my bill
To make things easier, we've listed the different ways you can pay your bill. Take a look and see what's best for you.
Direct Debit
By paying by direct debit you have the option of spreading your bill over instalments and making payments that are more flexible for you and at no extra cost.
What are the benefits of setting up a Direct Debit payment plan?
- You can spread your bill over instalments (at no extra cost)
- A payment plan may make it easier for you to budget your finances
- You have the flexibility to chose how often you pay
When we calculate your instalment amount, we will make sure your payments cover your current charges plus any arrears (if applicable). We will let you know how much this will be once we have set up your plan. If you find the payments are not affordable, please let us know and we will discuss alternative payment options with you.
If you want to amend the amount of your direct debit, please contact us.
