To make changes to your direct debit

Changes to arrangements: Please contact us to discuss changes to your arranged direct debit, if there is likely to be a one off issue with the payment, or if you would like us to pause your direct debit due to other financial commitments.

Change of bank account number: Any change to a bank account is required to be advised in writing - an email is acceptable.

Change of payment frequency: Contact us to alter your existing frequency arrangement.

Cancel a direct debit: Contact us in writing no later than 4 working days before the payment is due.

Can I transfer a current direct debit to another property? No. A cancellation request for the current direct debit will need to be made in writing, and a new application form completed for the new property.

Can I add a new property to an existing direct debit? No. We will require a new application be made for each property.
