Paying your bill
We've got different payment options to suit everyone's needs. Whether paying in full or by instalments, it's important you can pay your bill in the way that suits you.
Payment plans
To split your bill into instalments, you can set up a payment plan. This gives you the flexibility to choose how and when you pay, including the date, frequency and method of payment.
If you don't set up a payment plan, you'll need to pay your bill in full within 14 days of receiving it.
Our most popular payment plan is Direct Debit.
Direct Debit
With a monthly Direct Debit, we take payments automatically, so you never miss a bill.
If you need someone else to authorise a Direct Debit before it can leave your bank account, please complete our Direct Debit instruction form.
To cancel a Direct Debit, contact your bank. You'll need to set up a new payment method to pay your outstanding balance.
If you prefer not to use Direct Debit you can still set up a plan and pay in instalments by card, cash or a way that suits you. To set up or amend your payment plan log in to your online account.
Other ways to pay
You can pay your bill in full, or agreed instalments, using any of the following methods. We accept all major cards, except American Express.
Remember to allow time for payments to clear, as they can take up to five working days.
Through your online account
If you already have an online account with us, you can easily make payments at any time.
Online without logging in
You can pay online using our secure payment system, Worldpay. You'll need your account number at hand, as well as your payment card details.
You can also pay by phone, cash, bank transfer or make a payment from abroad.
