Other methods of payment:
Telephone payments
There are two systems available. The first can be used through your telephone and is accessed by dialling 0845 303 8506. You will need:
- your account number
- your invoice number
- your credit or debit card number
you will be prompted to enter your details using your telephone keypad. The payment will be processed and authorised during the call and at the end of the transaction you will be given a unique reference for future reference.
Paying by direct debit
This is the easiest
way to make payment because your bank or building society does all the work and yet you remain in control.
How
to switch to Direct Debit
To switch to direct debit, simply fill in and return the direct debit instruction
attached to your council tax bill.
You are free to cancel a Direct Debit at any time by writing to your bank
or building society. If you do this, please also send a copy of the letter to us.
Cash, cheque or postal order
You can pay your council tax by cash, cheque or postal order free of charge at any branch of Barclays Bank Plc or
Post Office. Please ensure you take your payment slips with you. Payment can also be made at any other bank, however there
may be a charge for this facility.
PLEASE NOTE PAYMENTS MAY TAKE UP TO 7 DAYS TO REACH YOUR ACCOUNT IF PAYING AT
THE BANK OR POST OFFICE
