Available Payment Options

There are two general payment options available to you. These are: 

1. Payment by cheque
   
2. Payment by BACS (Bank Automated Clearing Service)       

What are the benefits to you from BACS payments?

• Payments are made directly to your bank account electronically. We will however send you a remittance advice telling you what the payment is for.
  
• BACS payment means that you don't have to wait for cheques to clear in your bank account. All amounts paid in by BACS are immediately available for use.
  
• BACS is safer than a cheque payment as there is no chance that the payment will go astray in the post.
  

Changing to a BACS payment method is simple. Just contact us by e-mail or letter quoting the following:-  

• Name of bank or building society.

• Sort code.

• Your bank account number.

• Roll number where applicable.

In addition to the above details, if you also provide an e-mail address we will be able to send you remittance advices by e-mail on the day that payments are issued, rather than through the post.
