monthly (on 1st, 8th, 15th or 25th of each month from April to January/March)
half yearly (on 1st, 8th, 15th or 25th of April and October)
annually (on 15th April each year)

Please complete the correct form below and return to us, and we'll do the rest. But please remember to continue making payments by another method until you receive a letter confirming that the Direct Debit has been set up.
